We decided to check the EA-N66 performance in two modes: a wireless client and an accesspoint. In the first case we connected to the router ASUS RT-N66U, in the second one as awireless NIC we used the model D-Link DWA-160. Unfortunately, we didn’t have one moreEA-N66 to accomplish a full check of the device as an access point since although D-LinkDWA-160 NIC supports the work in both frequency ranges, but the maximum supportedtransmission speed in theory is only 300 Mbit/s, while RT-N66U and EA-N66 support thespeeds up to 450 Mbit/s in each of the ranges. That is why, in our opinion, the speeds shown byEA-N66 in the access point mode turned out to be far lower than the ones we managed to getworking with EA-N66 in the wireless client mode. All the results are exhibited on the diagrambelow. In this test we used the utility JPerf version 2.0.2, the data transmission was realized inone, five and fifteen simultaneous TCP-sessions.
This brings us to the end of the testing section. Let’s make conclusions.
Conclusion
We liked the multifunctional wireless device ASUS EA-N66 mostly because of its unusual
futuristic design – never before have we seen such a case shape and the demonstrated data
transmission speeds. At the time of writing the article the wireless adapter ASUS EA-N66 hasn’t
been officially sold in Russia yet, that is why by the time of its sales the vendor promises to
have eliminated a range of insignificant drawbacks that are usual for product demo-version. We
consider incomplete translation of the web-interface and incorrect Russian time zones to be one
of such disadvantages.
ASUS EA-N66 strong points are enumerated below.
