====== wifi routers ====== ===== Testing ===== First round, AP is above refrigerator. Taking the best of 3 test runs. === wnr2000 === 2.4Ghz 802.11n router. One major limitation is that the wired ports are only 100Mbps, not 1Gbps. - kitchen table: * defaults (10s run): C:\iperf>iperf.exe -c qubit.thoughtbit.com ------------------------------------------------------------ Client connecting to qubit.thoughtbit.com, TCP port 5001 TCP window size: 63.0 KByte (default) ------------------------------------------------------------ [448] local 192.168.1.36 port 55656 connected with 192.168.1.16 port 5001 [ ID] Interval Transfer Bandwidth [448] 0.0-10.4 sec 89.3 MBytes 71.7 Mbits/sec * 100MB size: C:\iperf>iperf.exe -c qubit.thoughtbit.com -n 100M ------------------------------------------------------------ Client connecting to qubit.thoughtbit.com, TCP port 5001 TCP window size: 63.0 KByte (default) ------------------------------------------------------------ [448] local 192.168.1.36 port 55698 connected with 192.168.1.16 port 5001 [ ID] Interval Transfer Bandwidth [448] 0.0-12.7 sec 100 MBytes 66.1 Mbits/sec * parallel (has no impact): C:\iperf>iperf.exe -c qubit.thoughtbit.com -n 100M -P 4 ------------------------------------------------------------ Client connecting to qubit.thoughtbit.com, TCP port 5001 TCP window size: 63.0 KByte (default) ------------------------------------------------------------ [556] local 192.168.1.36 port 55730 connected with 192.168.1.16 port 5001 [560] local 192.168.1.36 port 55731 connected with 192.168.1.16 port 5001 [552] local 192.168.1.36 port 55729 connected with 192.168.1.16 port 5001 [548] local 192.168.1.36 port 55728 connected with 192.168.1.16 port 5001 [ ID] Interval Transfer Bandwidth [552] 0.0-48.3 sec 100 MBytes 17.3 Mbits/sec [548] 0.0-48.7 sec 100 MBytes 17.2 Mbits/sec [556] 0.0-50.1 sec 100 MBytes 16.7 Mbits/sec [560] 0.0-50.2 sec 100 MBytes 16.7 Mbits/sec [SUM] 0.0-50.2 sec 400 MBytes 66.8 Mbits/sec * 1GB size: C:\iperf>iperf.exe -c qubit.thoughtbit.com -n 1G ------------------------------------------------------------ Client connecting to qubit.thoughtbit.com, TCP port 5001 TCP window size: 63.0 KByte (default) ------------------------------------------------------------ [456] local 192.168.1.36 port 55773 connected with 192.168.1.16 port 5001 [ ID] Interval Transfer Bandwidth [456] 0.0-125.9 sec 1.00 GBytes 68.3 Mbits/sec -
