Hi all.
I'm planning to buy the WNR3500L ... a soon as i found a shop thar ships to spain. My main question is if it could manage my qnap TS-119 45 MB/s throughput. Could please somebody post a real throughput test ... for example copying in vista a file from lan to lan?
Thanks a lot

Hi,
this router should be able to manage 45 MByte/s without any problems if the clents are connected via the GBit ethernet ports.
The question is more or less if the client is powerfull enough to provide a throughput off 45 MB/s.
Off course it will not work by design if the clients are connected via WLAN.

could it be close to 55 MB/s?
I don’t think
it’s possible through wireless, theoretically 300 megabit / 8 = 37.5 megabyte
per second.
If u mean
transfer through a gigabit cable, 55 MB/s isn’t that difficult, I have a netgear
switch (Jumbo Frame enabled) and a Readynas NVX, the read speed through LAN is
75.
gigabit throughput can easily reach 125MB/s. The problem is your tcp implementation and if you have a fast enough drive. One tcp connection can be limited by sliding window implementation. I can easily serve 125MB/s with my 6 disk software raid5 array. But one client without a SSD disk or a drive array won't be able to receive that.
Sure? Why the wndr3700 (apparently faster) is just a max of 473 Mbps?

Oh i am sorry i thought you meant lan to lan speed. I am not even close to gigabit speeds on my wan connection. If you need that i would go for a professional router.
It sounds for me too that he talked about a LAN-to-LAN connection. There was no word abou LAN-to-WAN througput. Anyway, the test you've linked is not very useful.
For real Gigabit connections you need:
- good cable quality not a cheap UTP cable.
- a powerful network card. Not that cheap on-board broadcom or realtek crap.
- and last but not least a powerful computer hard drives.
Very often the rest of the hardware isn't powerful enough to reach gigabit connections.
To WLAN: The little calculation does not show the reality. There is much overhead. As likely as not you will not reach less then 150 MBit/s (depending of the quality of the connection, their hardware, encryption etc.)
