WNDR3700 throughput
Hi,
What's the normal throughput for a WNDR3700v2?
I'm testing throughput via local FTP and im only achieving a maximum of 10MB/s (megabytes), and 10MB/s is roughly 80mbit per second. Is this normal? I feel this is nowhere near the 300mbit I should be getting.
Here is some more information about my setup:
- 2.4ghz disabled
- Not running any encryption / security
- Mode is set to "300Mbps"
- WMM enabled
- Single connection to wireless AP (laptop using intel Centrino Advanced-N 6205 adapter) + Windows 10
- Laptop is in close range
- Router status page displays two channels being used (Primary+Secondary)
- Firmware is latest version downladed from router update function
Any help would be appreciated, thanks.

Also, the FTP server and client have no bandwidth restrictions
And primary+secondary channels are open and not being disturbed by other routers.
The actual throughput will vary. There are several factors that could reduce the throughput like interference, distance, load, speed of the CPU, packet size, traffic distribution, etc. Throughput and bandwidth are just the theoretical maximum but not the guaranteed performance.
Humm, thanks for the reply but everything is optimal
And there is a pretty large difference between theoretical 300mbps and real world 80mpbs performance
I've never owned N hardware and I can't find real world numbers on what the actual thuroughput should be. So it's all a mystery to me.
I should say the FTP server and client software have no bandwidth restrictions.
I am running my own FTP server, on a desktop connected to the WNDR3700 via LAN
The desktop ethernet adapter is manually set on 1000mbit/1gpbs
The client (laptop) is connected via the wireless AP
