    I have an AC66U B1 with the latest Merlin firmware. By enabling Tx Bursting, I get my speed increases from 250Mbps to 310Mbps. I am connected to the 5Ghz band on ac. I have seen that Tx Bursting affects only g and a. So what's happening here?

    Bottlenecks: SSD vs HDD with 2 port LAN aggregation

    I'm considering buying a QNAP TS251+ and trying to aggregate the 2 LAN ports to improve my transfer and connection speeds. I think I would be able to get to approximately 220MB/s read/write, which would exceed the capability of a HDD (roughly 70MB/s?). So I'm considering installing a pair of...

    Hopefully I'll be able to figure out if my router is the cause of my current bottleneck or if there is something else that I should look into first. The issue that I'm running into is that if I max out my downstream (or at least max what the router can handle) at approximately 15MB/sec the...
