We also used the external antennas base rather than attaching the antennas directly to the card.īut there’s another potential bottleneck, the Gigabit Ethernet connection between the PC and the router. We made sure both PCs were equipped with SSDs, one of which was a PCI-Express M.2 drive, so there’s little chance of storage speeds becoming a bottleneck. We averaged out results from both reading and writing a 13.7GB movie from one PC equipped with the Asus PCE-AC88 to another connected via Ethernet to a high-end Asus RT-AC88U router, which supports similar 1024-QAM 4×4 802.11ac wireless speeds. Normally, when we test routers and other networking kit, we use a pair of Macs, with the excellent WiFi Perf software which establishes a direct connection between two computers, without relying on a file transfer, where storage could become a bottleneck.īut since the Asus PCE-AC88 is a wireless adapter for desktop PCs, we can’t use Macs, and instead, measured performance using a file transfer between two PCs in Windows 10.
