I want to be clear that I didn't mean to say your work here isn't valuable or appreciated, by far you have the most comprehensive tests for actually comparing products...as most of the "review" sites have individuals making up their own tests which aren't repeatable or consistent, so their is no...

Why are you looking at QoS with gigabit Internet service? QoS is going to make things worse, not better as your Internet link is likely not the bottleneck. Unless you have a dozen HD streams concurrently you are likely not saturating your Internet link itself. If you do speed tests directly...

I found the AC68U to be entirely underpowered, in fact my old N56U is significantly faster. Keep in mind that if your carrier requires VLAN tagging and PPPoE that none of the routed benchmarks matter to you as they don't actually represent that, and the PPPoE is the achilles heal in many of...

I am also trying to find adequate hardware for a home symmetrical gigabit connection, what I am finding is that none of the tests out there actually show the speed under real world or with PPPoE and WAN VLAN tagging, which many of the "fiber" carriers require. In my case I falsely assumed an...
