RTL8191SE Question

[denali]

Anyone here have a laptop using the Realtek RTL8191SE? I'm trying to get it to connect at 300m, but the best I've been able to manage is 135m. Other clients in the house are having no problem hitting 300m.

My router is a DIR-615 B2.

Any suggestions appreciate!

I don't know how link rate is reported by your device, but it is limited on the transmit path to single-stream operation (1T2R).

My guess is Windows 7 is only reporting transmit speed. Out of curiosity, is there a utility to tell what the transmit and receive rates are independently?

Iperf? I think it measures tcp link speed.

I didn't find anything. I haven't owned a 1T2R/2T3R client; does Windows even permit asymmetric link rates?

Good question. Safe money is probably on no, knowing MS.
