Asus RT-N16 Question

Hello all,

I was wondering what kind of speeds (broadband) this router can do?

Often i read threads where lots of ISPs (users) tell a client\customer that problem for their slowdowns could be the router (for example).

So, this router is capable of what? How can i know this?

Right now i am not noticing any problem on start.ca connection, but, in future, when they start offering higher speeds like 75mbit+ is this router going to be fine?

If yes, how do you know that?
If no, how do you know that?

If somebody could explain this to me (and other users wondering about this).

Thank you!

I use this router. I can pull in ~50mbit when speedboost gives me that rate over my cable line. Haven't had the pleasure of testing speeds any higher than that though.

If your running dd-wrt with short preamble (under advanced wireless) you can expect about 90 to 100megabit's tcp throughput with a 20mhz channel and a 150 megabit rate in ideal conditions.

I can see here it has a broadcom SOC with a broadcom switch on a chip. Your probably going to see upwards of 130 megabits of tcp throughput from wan to lan even if the chipset does not support hardware ACK or checksum (If it does you can probably push close to 330megabit's+ wired if you use add an extra 5 bytes to the MTU).

I don't know if this helps, but with the router 1 room away and connected at 300mbps, I get a 92mbps LAN to WAN transfer rate.

This is with Tomato 1.28

according to this it has 1gig lan ports and 300mbps wifi.
so wired it can support gig speeds and wifi it can do 300mbps. so unless your isp is google fiber or fios i doubt you'll max the routers capacity lol.
