After nearly two weeks of performance testing, and using about a 12 different products, I seemed to have stumbled on the fastest wireless-n configuration to date:

A NETGEAR WNR3500 in 300Mbps mode at Channel 6,10 and a NETGEAR WNDA 3100.

The windows connection speed on my test PC showed 300 Mbps, and I had to have my test machine in the same room as the WNR3500. 

The first test run was fairly fast, about 27 Mbps. The second test run was slower, about 25 Mbps, but during both of those tests I saw throughput spike to the high 30s, so I knew it could go faster if I got a “clean” run.

3rd time was a charm, I got clean test run that measured at 38 Mbps. Hey after a disappointing two weeks of product testing, that’s the fastest non-Ethernet connection I’ve seen. Read the rest of this entry »
