Hello all,
I just set up a new RT-N66U and am experiencing slow wifi. Here are the details:
Tests run using https://totusoft.com/lanspeed and a new FreeNAS 11 build.
Tests run from about 15 feet away and nearly unobstructed.
The router is located on the top shelf of a hall closet with all 3 antennae pointed straight up.
The client machine has an Intel 6300 3x3 card with the latest driver (capable of 450Mb/s).
Router has latest ASUS firmware with no changes aside from security.
Located in low density area - inSSIDer finds weak 2.4GHz from the neighbors and no 5GHz networks at all.
Link speed ranges between 300 - 400.
Here are the speeds I am achieving (similar for both read and write):
LAN: 800Mb/s
2.4GHz: 70Mb/s
5GHz: 25Mb/s
I know "real world" speeds will be less than the "advertised" 450Mb/s, but I don't think this is normal. In at least one review, the reviewer claims to achieve 226Mb/s over 2.4GHz, and 162Mb/s over 5GHz:

So far I've tried turning off encryption with no change in results.
Any suggestions to rectify these abysmal transfer speeds? I'm especially wondering about the very low 5GHz results.
Thanks for reading!
