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 n...

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.

        Thanks

         

        It looks like my numbers are normal, but the chart doesn't specify weather its measuring in mbit or mbyte. I will assume mbit.

         

        And I don't understand why the term "300mbit" is marketed so much when nothing realistically achieves this type of throughput.
