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...
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.
SNB report, page 3 figure 10 It's says on the top Mbps and you can also expand it.
It says 300Mbps per second because that's what your wireless client can acheive. Because it is wireless it is a theoretical speed. There alot of variables to contribute to the speed you are able to sustain with wifi. It is not a peice of wire, where the speed is guaranteed. You should try your test with your laptop wired to your router and post your results!

It describes what you are looking for. General tips (applies to both 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz). Around 8 bullet points down. Hope this clarifies your questions.
I understand that article is trying to clear up some misconceptions, but it still doesn't explain how 300mbps is rightfully established.
The number which is advertised should be what your device is actually capable of. And finding the real number is almost impossible.
This is very dishonest and no respectable person should ever do something like this. It's quite ridiculous, there really is no excuse for it, other than deceptive marketing, which is pathetic.The author blames encryption, multiple devices and lost packets(?)
All of which I am not experiencing.
He also goes on to say that half of 300mbps is considered good. I'm only getting 80mbps at best, under the most optimal conditions.What gives?
