Performance Wireless 802.11n

Performance Wireless

On this page we'll again test the 802.11n 2.4 GHz connection of the router in two stages. Wireless to LAN and LAN to Wireless. We measure throughput from client to client and on each machine we setup a RAMDISK on which we'll force a compressed file copy from one side to the other. We measure the peak bandwidth reached and measure at a distances of ten meters.

** please note that each location and thus performance level is different depending on where you live, how many other WIFI routers sit in the neighbourhood, city, country-land, steel reinforced buildings, etc. So these numbers can vary for you.

That said, we are in a WIFI invested area in the city with steel re-enforced walls. So our results pretty much would be worse case scenario.

Above we measure the throughput of data-traffic at 10 meters distance from a LAN PC towards the router which connects to a PC Wireless with a 802.11n compatible NIC. We pass through a steel re-enforced wall. We use the 2.4 GHz band here.

Above we measure the throughput of data-traffic at 10 meters distance from a the Wireless NIC based PC towards the router which connects to a PC through a LAN. We pass through a steel enforced wall.

But let's move to the 5 Ghz band with 802.11ac, as that is the hottest WIFI connection anno 2014 we all wanna have and work with.
