Hey everyone quick question! Recently purchased the RT-AC66U and am experiencing major problems?
What are the expected read/write rates for the USB ports given that the drives that I have tested can all handle well over 50MB's. I have tested on a few computers both over gigabit lan and also wireless N (synced up @ 300Mbs). I am only getting around 5-6MB's transfer rate.
I have done the usual tests
- Made sure proper cat6 cables
- throughput computer to computer directly through modem was transferring around 115MBs
- USB Drive hooked up directly to PC transferring to another PC via cable/router hovered around 70MB's (USB3 drive)
- Wireless not worth discussing but will go through later in post.
The other issue I have is the throughput on the wifi. All devices synced up perfectly maxing out wifi connection (wireless N synced up @ 300Mbs) yes transfer rates are hovering around the 5-6MB's rate as well... this includes going from internal sata drives which can copy over LAN @ 115MBs.
The internet connection I am having hooked up syncs up around 100-125Mbs and I REALLLY don't want to be bottle necked by a brand new modem bought soley so that it could handle the speeds and SHOULD handle much more.
I would do a dead on arrival swap with the store I purchased from but unfortunately just past the deadline for that and didn't realize the situation in time. The turnaround for a manufacturer test/replacement is around 3 weeks.
Sorry for the essay!
Any help would be much appreciated!
BTW wanting to try Merlin's FW ASAP but don't want to mess up my warranty as you can imagine.
