    First Peek At Wi-Fi 6: ASUS RT-AX88U & NETGEAR RAX80

    You can't reasonably expect all new routers to upgrade to a new technology precisely at the same time as all clients. Its not perfect, but there are a few ways to deal with this: one way would be to complain about the problems. Another way is to be able to see the bright side: someone has to...

    First Peek At Wi-Fi 6: ASUS RT-AX88U & NETGEAR RAX80

    Tim, I'm very happy you've upgraded your test methods. Thank you for that. I'm very grateful for your efforts. Maybe there is something to improve about the attitude as well. Its very easy to complain but when you do it you make people look down upon you - you are begging for their help...

    ASUS ROG Rapture GT-AC5300 Wireless-AC5300 Tri-Band Gaming Router Reviewed

    @RMerlin Yes I meant Asuswrt-Merlin, sorry about that. I really appreciate your efforts on it, I've been running it on N66U for so many years now. Finally I'm ready to upgrade the router and the firmware is the only downgrade I feel I'm making ;) Since its the first 64bit CPU, I assume it will...

    ASUS ROG Rapture GT-AC5300 Wireless-AC5300 Tri-Band Gaming Router Reviewed

    @RMerlin Any chance to get AsusWRT support for the GT? Is it a big effort - will it take a long time?

    WAN to LAN throughput testing differences + feedback

    I was referring to processing overhead, not envelope size. I did ran tests for processing on PPPoE. Without hardware acceleration of PPPoE packet processing, the WAN to LAN throughput is about 180 Mbps. Pretty huge difference from 931 Mbps, so I guess its not something negligible.

    WAN to LAN throughput testing differences + feedback

    Regarding the term "speed" that you mention and your linked article is referring to, I never mentioned any negotiated link speed / link rate. Why would anyone? Why would you? Just throwing around random terms / semantic wars to confuse people? Those are all throughput tests that I've done...

    WAN to LAN throughput testing differences + feedback

    Now that I look again, yeah, perhaps I was pretty aggressive in my OP indeed. I was pissed because I tried to gather some useful numbers from that AC87U review and I had to filter a lot of inaccurate numbers paired with the attitude. Regarding my so called "magical" speed. The key is the "s"...

    WAN to LAN throughput testing differences + feedback

    Tim, I believe your WAN to LAN testing methodology is wrong. In your N66U review you got: WAN to LAN: 732 Mbps And a simple SpeedTest that I did right now on my N66U contradicts you severely: I got even 931 Mbps, which demolishes your router chart. Oh, and btw this is on PPPoE - with all that...
