Is the Wifi speed for the TF a maximum of 72mb/s? My wireless router supports 300mb/s and my laptops can make use of that but the TF will not go past 72.
So when I'm streaming or copying hd videos over from my server its transferring at speeds slower then my internet connection it self!
my router is a an ASUS RT-N16 with Tomato firmware on it. Using WPA/WPA2 AES encryption. On channel 7 on lower sideband and 40mhz channel width.
The max on the Transformer is a 72.

WiFi speed is one of those marketing things like the way glass CRT TV sets were sized - the marketeers use an unrealistic perspective that never manifests in the real world for real people and real devices. Sure, my laptops claim they are connected at 300 Mbps. However, if you actually test that, you find it's well under 100 Mbps. Hard wired network connection speeds seem pretty real.
If the TF claims 72 Mbps, it's probably telling you what it really is, not what some marketeer says it is. And then, like the other fellow says, the TF doesn't support the faster speeds. The question is whether the TF can stream HD smoothly. Generally, mine does.
Bye.

I have the WRT54G2
Is there an dramatic improvement with using wireless N or dual wireless N
With programs such as splashtop and VLC streamer
basically is it worth getting another router over
With all the hype about cloud I would think the speed between router and end device would be important. If so any recommendations on routers to buy?

I don't know if it's true for the Tab, but for the SGS2, it hates D-Link routers of all shapes and sizes. The signal stength is weaker and it drains the battery more. It likes NetGear routers a lot. With a high-end NetGear I get excellent signal strength through two floors of poured concrete on both my SGS2 and Tab.

IMO the improvement in upgrading a wireless router is more about improving overall bandwidth available to multiple wireless devices rather than pure throughput to a single device; at least as it pertains to devices such as a tablet.
For example, my local cable internet connection tops out at 10Mbps so the bandwidth available to a single device on my WRT54G2 router that I had before was more than adequate for me.
If however you're pushing things around the house between multiple wireless devices you may benefit from a dual wireless setup and segmenting out your wifi a little to take advantage of that.

Dual wireless N won't help unless you've got a lot of interference. Think about it this way: Wireless N routers can be had for about $20 now. Thats about as cheap as they'll get before they're replaced with another standard. So just go get one. Your laptop will thank you..
I'm in the market for a new wireless-N router, since my current piece-of-$h1t 2Wire router (provided by AT&T with my U-Verse service) is only G. I'll be using it for my laptop (gaming laptop), as well as wifi for my xbox, which I use for streaming Netflix. I'm also planning on getting a new android tablet (probably the new Asus MeMO 370T whenever it comes out). So because of the 360 and tablet, I would like something with decent range, and because of streaming, and the potential of using at least two, possibly three wireless devices simultaneously, I would like something with decent bandwidth and throughput.
Right now I'm looking at the following routers, but I'm by no means decided, hence this post.

The only benefit you'll get from wireless-N is range depending on which internet package you have. I taught my dad that the other night, lol.

Without question the best dual-band wireless router with a management interface is the ASUS RT-N56U. I own one and it blows the doors of my fourth generation apple airport extreme. It handles Double NAT, VPN pass-through, and all of the other features that have become normal in a professional sense.

Are you paying for 150mbps?! I don't even want to image THAT bill :O
Well, here's a question. Is anything else connected to the router while you're performing these speed tests?

You talking about your actual internet speed dl, or file transfer speed within your network? I cannot get 150Mbps through my router with file transfers. I max out at 25Mbps with my internet speed, but that's all the bandwidth I get anyway.
The speed depends on what the hardware is capable of. The 802.11n standard supports up to 300Mbps in theory. In theory because hardware hasn't been made that is capable of transmitting at that speed. And he is no doubt talking about through a local network. If he is talking about internet bandwidth, I envy him lol.

I am assuming the OP is referring to the modulation rate his phone is connecting to the router with. I don't know a lot about the wireless adapter in the Atrix aside from it being able to do 802.11 a/b/g/n. However, I am pretty sure the N capability of the wireless adapter has the highest modulation rate of 72Mbps when running on 1 chain in a 20Mhz channel (to my knowledge the Atrix only has one Wi-Fi antenna in it). So assuming you have a great Wi-Fi signal to your wireless router and low noise, 72Mbps is the highest modulation rate your phone will achieve. In order to achieve 150Mbps, the wireless access point you connect would have to be running in 40Mhz channels before the phone could benefit from the router's 150Mbps capability.
Since the Atrix is 802.11a capable, I bought a dual band router and reap the benefits of being the only one in my neighborhood using a 5Ghz capable router. While I only connect at best with 54Mbps, I can still gobble up 11Mbps down. Not too shabby.

If you want to shell out some cash you can get a router that in theory can reach 450Mbps with the matching adapter. I don't know of a laptop or other device that comes on the shelf with that type of adapter. The routers and adapters have a 3x3 setup, so if all three chains are enabled, and you live in a Faraday cage, you could theoretically get 450Mbps out of it. A bit extreme right now, as most people don't have a clue about the benefits of 5Ghz and using that for media like set top boxes home media streaming. LinkSys actually have a nice 4 port Wi-Fi adapter specifically for that. Plus in your PS3, XBox, satellite receiver and Popcorn Hour and you are good to go! No wires needed with the exception of the cables to the adapter.

Worlds fastest wireless network - 1.2Tbps.
But yeah, you're right............traditional wireless won't do it.
yea its plenty fast at the 72 i connect was just curious because the laptop connects at different speed. I have samba share installed so have a network drive from phone so just seeing if had any input. I did notice when looking in my router lastnight that when i connected at my 72 that it actually does go faster in burst. my router has dd-wrt so shows connected devices and stats i saw it change connection speeds up to like 110 briefly. so it should be good.
It may interest you that in the UK the government agency that polices advertising made the Wifi people take the speeds off their ads*. IRL none of the G access points ever made 54 MBps nor the B 11mbs. It is always the same, people quoting perfect condition maximums which are never achievable.
* Try going to linksys dot co dot uk and have a look at their ads (can't post links yet)

So the Atrix is 5Ghz capable? You said 802.11a.. It won't work at 802.11n in that frequency? It's so noisy in this area in the 2.4 range when I do a spectrum sweep there is no clean frequency. Im thinking of grabbing a 2.4 CPE with 36 dBm transmit power and place it on my kitchen counter. I'll blast every router in range out haha
Mine too. Both Asus Eee Pad Transformer Prime and SE Xperia Ray are all max out at 72 Mbps.
I connect to the 5Ghz frequency at my home everyday. Seems faster than the 2.4 connection. I can't comment on battery savings though.

I've got no wifi issues whatsoever. How is the wifi on your computer/notebook? If you're running windows on your computer try this program: inSSIDer
You can determine which channel is the least crowded. You can also see which channel gives you the highest signal strength.
Hope this helps..

Totally agree ... its something related to the wifi hotspot and the channel you are using .... i get over 20 mbps upload and download over wifi .... i connect my note with my laptop using connectify ,, and my laptop is connected via LAN 100 mbps connection (yes its really 100 mbps , m in southkorea and speed here is just the best) my laptop gets around 100 Mbps on speed test.net but my note sticks around 20 mbps ....

I think some issues you don't even have to worry about, anything probably over 3 mbps you phone browser wont load the page any faster because of system limitations, the only thing wear you'll notice a different is downloading studff, but I don't see any time you would need to, I get about 20-30 mbps on my note, but the pages don't load any faster than my 3g which is normally around 3-4 mbps.

Ssid is the broadcast name of the wireless, so virginbroadband or whatever you see when you're searching for networks.
Selecting a different channel changes the spectrum that the Wifi uses. If you're in a crowded area, most people will use the default channel which means everyone's on the same spectrum and it can cause a lot of interference, so changing will often create a more stable bandwidth and therefor increase speeds.

Running PA 2.51.
Not that this has that much to do with the nexus player but I'm looking to get a new router. I do a lot of streaming and have at least 12 devices connected minimum. I currently have a Netgear R6300 that I think is on the way out. Looking for suggestions and I don't really have any tech savy friends to ask that are in the same boat.
I am an early adopter and love the cisco/linksys/belkin line of routers. i always get the newest model as they are announced/released. have been on board with linksys exclusively for decades using their brand of routers.
im currently using a linksys EA9200 which is an AC3200 router. has one 2.4 side and two 5ghz sides. the router senses the slower traffic and places it on the proper side whereas faster devices will be steered to another one. does this all automatically. has more features but that is a nice setup about this router.
I also have a hub and use 9 machines (wired and wireless) with this unit.
the next best router for a bit less bread is the wrt 1900 also from linksys. its built like a tank and has the ability to load up custom firmware.

Thanks for the reply. The tri band setup seems pretty sweet. Didn't even notice this one. I've been looking at Asus and netgear pretty much so far.
I got the Linksys EA6900 for Christmas and hated it.
Internet connection kept dropping, wifi kept dropping, USB printer connection "thing" didn't work with my MF printer.
Took it back and paid an extra $50 and got the Neatgear Nighthawk R8000. Also a tri-band (1 x 2.4 and 2 x 5 ghz) with auto sensing.
I love it. Everything works as expected out of the box.
In the house I have 2 smart phones, 3 tablets, Nexus Player, Wii all using Wifi and 3 PC's, 1 TV and 2 PS3's all hard wired.
I have an Asus AC66U. So far I'm happy with it. Nice features and speed and range are great. They say they are compatible with DD-WRT but when I loaded it up it was spotty at best and my data rates were about half of what I got on the stock firmware. I reverted back because I would rather take speed and stability over features. My media server uses an ASUS PCE-AC68 card and I get pretty much gigabit speeds. Link shows 1300mbps and throughput tests are consistently around 450-475mbps from about 30 feet away and through 1 wall. The NP gets about 230-250mbps. at the same distance.

I had some TP-Links, Belkins and even Linksys routers but this one is most stable one - not to mention the transfer speeds, Merlin firmware is updated daily.
I just have an airport extreme.
So far I tried a Nighthawk R8000. First one was junk out of the box. Tried a second one and I like it. I tried the Linksys AC3200. I thought the range was terrible so I went back to the Nighthawk. I have a ASUS RT-AC87U on order. I'll try this but so far I'm pretty happy with the R8000
