hardwiring should make a difference. The current asus wifi cards are only 2x2 cards. So they'd be the bottleneck.
The hardwiring should be faster. what hardwired device did you test with?

What firmware on the extender?
Hardwiring should make a diffenece but it didn't. Using the 1Gb LAN on the motherboard. I have tested it through direct connection ot the router, it is a gagbit port.

Router firmware is in the original post, V1.2.0.16. The extender's is the latest (don't know the version, the extender is happily traveling on its way back to Netgear as of this morning).
