I did the same with the Netgear X4S R7800 and, from the client to the server, I measured an average of 150 Mbps, while, at 30 feet, I got around 132 Mbps.įrom the server to the client, I measured an average of 165 Mbps at 5 feet and, at 30 feet, I measured around 130 Mbps. From the server to the client, I got an average of 175 Mbps, while at 30 feet, I measured around 146 Mbps. On the next step, I decided to connect the client to the 2.4GHz network (Asus RT-AC86U) and, from the client to the server, at 5 feet, I measured an average of 173.4 Mbps and, at 30 feet, the throughput went up to 208 Mbps. From the server to the client, at 5 feet, I measured an average of 365 Mbps, while at 30 feet, the speed went slightly down to 243 Mbps. Afterwards, I connected the clients to the Netgear Nighthawk R7800 (5GHz network) and, from the client to the server, at 5 feet, I measured an average of 618 Mbps, while at 30 feet, I got an average of 480 Mbps. First, I connected the clients to the Asus RT-AC86U’s network and, on the 5GHz band, from the client to the server, I measured an average of 572 Mbps at 5 feet, while at 30 feet, the speed remained consistent at 476 Mbps.įrom the server to the client, I got an average of 310 Mbps and, at 30 feet, I measured around 240 Mbps.

In order to compare the wireless performance of both routers, I tested each device using two computers, one is a Desktop PC and will act as the server (connected via cable), while the other is a laptop equipped with an Intel 8265 2×2 MU-MIMO WiFi adapter which will act as the client (both routers will be set on the 80MHz bandwidth).
