It peaked at speeds of roughly 45MBps (360Mbps). This is also an external, triple antenna 802.11ac adaptor but connects to a PC or laptop via Ethernet. Furthermore the initial burst you’ll see if the graph result opposite suggests the PCE-AC68U still has more speed it in, but the router couldn’t keep up.įor some context, we compared this to results from a Linksys WUMC710. It isn’t realistic, but it shows the speeds the PCE-AC68U can reach and the bottleneck in this scenario is still likely to be the router. From this perspective the maximum throughput we’ve had from any 802.11ac router so far has been (somewhat surprisingly) the TrendNet TEW-812DRU, which managed a blazing 54.3MBps (434.4Mbps).Ĭontrast this with running files across an unprotected FTP server from a remote location without any wireless interference (the method manufacturers use to claim greater speeds) and we managed to get Asus PCE-AC68 transfer speeds to a mindboggling 86.5MBps (692Mbit) when twinned with the Asus RT-AC68U router. We know this because we test in real world scenarios, which means using WPA2 security and in a residential environment.
So how fast is the Asus PCE-AC68? In all truth we don’t honestly know for the simple reason that we are running into the limits of 802.11ac wireless routers before we are hitting the bottleneck of the PCE-AC68.
