I had the previous gen Airport Extreme Wireless N router. For some reason, tonight the router was acting really slow, so I did a speed test, 800kbps download... 1200kbps upload! 100ms latency! (On Dslreports tests).
Turned it from Mixed mode to N only 5ghz, and it jumped up a bit, 4000kbps download 80ms latency...
I just wasn't having it, so I plugged directly into cable modem, 28ms, 15000kbps download, 3000kbps upload! WOAH DADDY!
So, I went and bought a new Linksys WRT320N.. EVERYTHING is faster now...
(But only in 5ghz N mode only!!)
16488kb/s down 1557kb/s up... 28ms latency..
What gives, why is my Airport Extreme performing so poorly, it has the latest firmware... You would think if I put it in Wireless N only on the 5ghz performance would be similar... but i guess if this is how it's going to be, I'll stick with the Linksys, unless anyone has any ideas..
