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...

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.

It says Mbps. You can click on the charts, they expand for a better view.

Haha, clicking the chart literally does nothing. It brings up the same exact sized image for me on this laptop. Nowhere does it mention Mbps or MB/s.
Anyway, would you mind explaining why "300mbps" is marketed?
It's extreamly immoral, I'm sure that I am not the first one expecting a 300mbps connection only to be let down. (And have a lot of time wasted).
Does it not bother anyone to allow such a blantant and obvious lie soley for the purpose of marketing?
I don't understand how people justify such nonsense.
