Title: 5 GHz router speeds.
Post by: matt on July 02, 2014, 11:55:41 PM

I bought an Asus rt-ac56u router with USB ports for ext. drives. On the 5 GHz channel I get around 100-130mbps to an HD as ftp server. The same HD as smb server gets around 15mbps. Any tips to improve speed or is this about the max?

I tried merging the ssids of the two radios on the router, but I don't think the nexus 7 will connect to both simultaneously. Rats.

Seems that android uses ncifs stack for samba. Slow with all clients and devices. Ftp it is then.
