What Internal Transfer Speed Do You Get?

[BreakingDad]

I have an asus rt-n66u with n900 pci wireless cards.

I connect at 5ghz 450mbps wirelessly.

When I transfer a movie to my attached Hard Drives (or download from ) I get a speed of around 12MBps, which is better than our network at work where I get about 8MBps.

I appreciate that due to HDD and BUS speeds this transfer speed maybe limited.

Just wondering what kind of speeds others get either wired or wirelessly?

If you're talking about a USB drive, that sounds about right for an RT-N66U.

If you want to see the highest wireless performance possible, you need to be transferring from a wired computer's internal hard drive or SSD to a wireless client about 10' or so away.


With wireless being effectively halved (at best) and then being further bottlenecked by the slow cpu in the router and the slow USB implementation too, 12Mbps is not great but not unexpected either.

A single disk NAS would probably be much faster for large files like movies, for example.

Using my N66U

Speeds to Hitachi Drive Connected Router's USB Port:
Write Read

2.4 = 19.3 34.9
5 Ghz = 19.3 38.5


Connected by WiFi to a HD on a Laptop connected by Ethernet to router:

2.4 = 49.6 53.7
5 Ghz = 41.1 38.9

Hope this give you the information you need.
