We’ve had 29.7MBps (237.6Mbps) from the PCE-AC68 when 13m and two standing walls away from the router. Interestingly we also saw the Asus PCE-AC68 excel at distance. Meanwhile a D-Link DWA-182 802.11ac USB dongle managed just over 35MBps (280Mbps) which shows it is often the connecting device rather than the router which is the bottleneck in wireless networks. It peaked at speeds of roughly 45MBps (360Mbps).

This is also an external, triple antenna 802.11ac adaptor but connects to a PC or laptop via Ethernet. Furthermore the initial burst you’ll see if the graph result opposite suggests the PCE-AC68U still has more speed it in, but the router couldn’t keep up.įor some context, we compared this to results from a Linksys WUMC710. It isn’t realistic, but it shows the speeds the PCE-AC68U can reach and the bottleneck in this scenario is still likely to be the router. From this perspective the maximum throughput we’ve had from any 802.11ac router so far has been (somewhat surprisingly) the TrendNet TEW-812DRU, which managed a blazing 54.3MBps (434.4Mbps).Ĭontrast this with running files across an unprotected FTP server from a remote location without any wireless interference (the method manufacturers use to claim greater speeds) and we managed to get Asus PCE-AC68 transfer speeds to a mindboggling 86.5MBps (692Mbit) when twinned with the Asus RT-AC68U router. We know this because we test in real world scenarios, which means using WPA2 security and in a residential environment. So how fast is the Asus PCE-AC68? In all truth we don’t honestly know for the simple reason that we are running into the limits of 802.11ac wireless routers before we are hitting the bottleneck of the PCE-AC68. I'll keep this post updated if I make any progress.

I also want to test the drivers on Linux to see if the issue remains there. A good portion of the device settings I have no idea what purpose they serve, I was copying this setup. The utility shows it's using 802.11ac at 80MHz.

If you noticed 802.11n displayed in task manager for ASUS AC56, it's because Windows bugs out and doesn't like 802.11ac on external devices. I'm not sure why this is, if anyone has any incite, would be greatly appreciated. The point is I can't even reach the non-boosted speed they advertise. You can see the on board of my laptop is a bit better than the ASUS, not really the point though. Consistency not so great either.ĪSUS advertises 867Mbps over the 5GHz band, here are the same tests but only about a foot away from the router. Here is the on board wireless of my laptop.Ī bit better in the download, didn't strike me as odd.

Not terrible speeds, especially considering there's all sorts of crap in the ceiling/walls that would cause interference. Here is the ASUS wireless from downstairs transferring that same file. I started downstairs from the router to see if there was interference how much there was compared to sitting right next to the router.

Here are the Ethernet connection graphs from transferring a 1GB file. Note: I only did most of these tests once, take them with a grain of salt.

ASUS PCE AC56 ISSUES INSTALL

The drive used in the server is a 250GB 7200RPM Western Digital that has a fresh install of Ubuntu 18.04 LTS server with virtually no space used. I decided to do some investigating because this wireless adapter seems cool and I like ASUS, but I've never used their wireless before.įor those curious I was using my Dell laptop for the testing, it has a M.2 NVMe SSD, no chance of a bottleneck with that. After configuring it I downloaded some files, I noticed the consistency wasn't any better, if not worse than my TP-Link which is 802.11n instead of 802.11ac which I had set specifically to use in device manager. I recently purchased an ASUS wireless adapter to replace my TP-Link wireless adapter. Before you read I apologize in advance for the mile long post, it's only so long because of the pictures.
