Hi guys,
With the release of the 4x4 (1.7Gb/2.2Gb) ASUS PCE-AC88 desktop adapter I was wondering what the outcome would be to getting two of them and putting them in different PCs connected to the same router?
I currently have a TPLink C2600 capable of 4x4 1.7Gb streams + MU-MIMO. The downside to this, and many other wireless routers is that the Ethernet port leaving the router is a 1Gb port. So even though I might get 1.7Gb to the wireless router I only get 1Gb to the network.
But if I get two of the adapters above would I get 1.7Gbps between the two PCs or would the bandwidth be divided between them?
Example: I want to copy a file from PC1 to PC2, will the file copy at 1.7Gbps or 850Mbps since there are two PCs connected at 4x4?
One of these machines is a server and currently uses iSCSI multipath IO to my NAS via 3 x 1Gbe so I am getting 3Gbps there. I was thinking that if I also added a PCE-AC88 to that server I might get 1.7Gbps to the NAS via the server from my desktop?
Any thoughts?
