If you balk at the idea of ??spending almost $ 400 to buy a router and a bridge 802.11ac 802.11ac to go with it, Belkin is a cheaper solution for you. At $ 160, the 1200 DB Belkin AC costs about $ 40 less than the Asus 802.11ac routers (RT-AC66U), D-Link (DIR-865L) and Netgear (the R6300). Unlike same price Buffalo WZR-D1800H, however, a Belkin router offers low specifications, too. 802.11ac other four routers I've tested with 802.11ac 802.11n radio supports three spatial streams in each frequency band, but the radios Belkin AC 1200 DB support two. As a result, while the other four 802.11ac wireless routers offers a maximum theoretical yield of 1.3 gigabits per second, and an 802.11n network concomitant with a theoretical maximum of 450 megabits per second, AC 1200 Belkin theoretical maximum of 867 DB Mbps and 300 are, respectively. AC 1200 The DB has a vertical orientation, which should result in a better range of routers that sit on a flat surface, even if the antennas are hidden inside the plastic housing. There is no provision to mount the router on a wall. Belkin offers two USB 2.0 ports on the back of the router to support network-attached storage and a shared printer. I have not tried to connect a USB printer, but the DB AC 1200 was much slower than other routers 802.11ac write large files and small files to a USB drive. He also finished last read the files attached unit. The BC 1200 provides a media server with DLNA support, parental controls that can block access to inappropriate sites, and a rudimentary QoS engine that Belkin IntelliStream dubs. QoS is supposed to shape your network traffic for delay-sensitive applications, such as games, streaming, VoIP and receive a higher priority than offset insensitive applications such as BitTorrent downloads. But Belkin lets you manually configure the QoS parameters; IntelliStream supposed to automatically after running a diagnostic test speed. Unfortunately, I was unable to test the speed to run at the end. Belkin IntelliStream clearly needs to improve in order to be useful and worthy of recommendation. AC 1200 came from the factory with channel bonding disabled in your 2.4 GHz radio, but turned in less than 5 GHz When I forced Radio 2.4 GHz to combine two 20 MHz channels to produce an 802.11n network with bandwidth of 40 MHz, the router responds to obtain two second places. 5GHz 802.11ac Comparative Analysis I used a laptop equipped with a 2.5GHz Intel AVADirect Core i5-3210m processor, 4GB memory and an Intel Centrino Ultimate-N 6300 Wi-Fi adapter to run my benchmark tests. Ultimate-N 6300 can simultaneously send and receive three spatial streams 150 Mbps (450 Mbps total), most of the adapters are limited to handling two (300 Mbps total). That was all I had to evaluate the ongoing performance 802.11n 1200 BC (both in the frequency band 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz). To measure the performance 802.11ac router in the frequency band of 5 GHz, which received a sample of engineering new video Link Belkin 802.11ac media bridge, I am connected to the Ethernet port of AVADirect. The video link is a bit like the router. To test the router, I placed the customer in five locations in and outside of a 2800 square foot, ranch style home (distances from the router are indicated in each box below below). I used the open source reference Iperf (and the end Jperf Java GUI designed for this purpose). To measure the performance drop TCP router, put it on my laptop as a server and use a desktop wired to the router and the client. The 1200 AC 802.11ac provided disappointing performance closely with clients from 9 meters and the router in the same room. TCP performance with only 162 Mbps, this router 802.11ac was still slower than the Asus RT-N66U 802.11n router using as a reference point.
As the table below shows, the AC 1200 database performance did not improve when I moved from my kitchen to the customer test environment, 20 feet from the router with a wall that separates the router. Again, the Belkin AC 1200 finished last in the performance test. The reference next two races took place inside my home theater. This is a design room-within-a room with four walls of 2-by-4 framing and drywall inside the four walls of 2-by-6 frame and drywall, with about 6 inches air insulation fiberglass and death separates them. It aims to optimize the acoustics of the room, not to build a Faraday cage, but many small routers and other wireless devices have trouble penetrating. However, none of 802.11ac routers that I tested had some trouble getting the customer in this room, and the router Belkin Buffalo really dominated while the customer was on the coffee table in the room. As many people will want to connect your computer to your home entertainment system to a network 802.11ac, I decided to measure the performance of TCP with the Bridge media inside the cabinet in my home theater equipment (floor to ceiling, wall to wall cabinet consists of cabinet grade plywood including the back). As the table below shows, the performance of TCP 1200 CA DB dropped by nearly half in this place, but still provided more than enough bandwidth to transmit wireless mount an ISO image from Blu-ray Spiderman 3 from a Windows Home Server 2011 machine in my office at home with a home theater PC in the entertainment center, including high definition sound.
AC DB 1200 slightly better results when I moved the client and bridge media for the first of my two locationsâ outdoor test???? An outdoor terrace surrounded by three walls and a half wall with windows. In the real world, I doubt that anyone attempting to build a bridge of communication outside because dragging the bridge and the search for a solution (and probably an extension) are too annoying. Again, Belkin has finished in last place, because of its dual radio flux.
My second picnic table was located completely outside of my house. At this point, the router and the client was 75 feet away and separated by three interior walls insulated exterior wall insulation and coated on one side with fiber cement board. Under these conditions, the reference 802.11n router TCP performance offered only 30.2 Mbps, but realizes Belkin router TCP performance mbpsâ 78.2???? Much better performance than the Buffalo WZR-1800H managed. The first place finisher at this point, D-Link DIR-865L, 152 Mbps delivered surprising. Benchmarking performance 802.11n 2.4GHz Most routers I tested at 2.4 GHz channel bonding mode back low due to the presence of other routers use the same spectrum, but the Belkin AC 1200 and stuck their arms provide a bandwidth of 40 MHz continues. Walk on the nearby wireless networks will not win friends, however, and will be interesting to see if Belkin allowed to continue once the Wi-Fi Alliance certification begins 802.11ac routers. In all cases, the aggregation of channels allows AC 1200 DB to earn a tie for first place and second place when the customer is the nearest router, even if they have only two spatial streams as shown in the graph below.
