The “Torture Test” truly put routers and adapters to the test as the signal has to power its way a long distance through walls and floors into the distant Laundry Room of Wi-Fi Doom. As expected we ran into problems immediately and in...
So, now we move back to the ASUS USB-N66 adapter on its ‘High Power’ setting. Let’s see how well the various routers perform with our little ASUS spaceship adapter 45 feet from them.

As we’ve discussed previously, wireless testing here on PC Perspective or anywhere else should always be looked at with the understanding that every location offers unique challenges to Wi-Fi connectivity and your mileage will likely vary from what...
As with earlier wired tests, we’re testing network performance directly with a crossover cable between the LAN and WAN box as well as with CAT6 cables through the Apple Airport as a baseline to compare the wired networking performance of the ASUS...
With our testing methodology we’ve strived to remove as many variables as possible from the equation and maintain consistency throughout multiple tests. We’re using two identical Dell Optiplex machines as the “WAN” and...

The Torture Tests truly put router and adapter to the test as the signal has to find its way through walls, floors across a long distance into the far away Laundry Room of Wi-Fi Doom. As expected we ran into problems immediately and in some cases...
