https://community.ruckuswireless.com/t5/Access-Points-Indoor-and-Outdoor/R700-benchmarked-against-a-consumer-router-matches-my-experience/m-p/43242#M12338 This URL was shared by the Ruckus twitter account, and I figured it's worth talking about here too in case others haven't seen it:&nbsp;<A href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a76mjIg8cZ0" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a76mjIg8cZ0</A><BR /><BR />Although I'm not a big fan of presenting all the results in a youtube video, the guy tests a R700 against the WRT1900AC, which uses a Broadcom 3x3:3 AC chipset and regular omni antennas. It represents nearly the top of the line for the consumer market (there's some dual 3x3:3 solutions on the market now with 6 omni antennas to "increase capacity", but anyway)<BR /><BR />Long story short, the Linksys does great when benchmarked on an empty network, but quickly tanks after a few clients are added. At 7 clients, the Linksys only delivers 14mbit vs 97mbit from the R700.<BR /><BR />This almost exactly mirrors my personal experience and how I got started with Ruckus. I have 100mbit Internet in my home office and start my mornings downloading 10GB of data on 3 machines over wifi. Before I switched &nbsp;to Ruckus, this process would be extremely slow and make the wifi network virtually unusable. While it's not usually practical to buy enterprise equipment for home use, there are some exceptions :).<BR /><BR /><BR />Keep up the great work, Ruckus! Can't wait to see how it looks with the upcoming 9.10 release when the AC AP's are feature complete <span class="lia-unicode-emoji" title=":slightly_smiling_face:">🙂</span> Thu, 12 Feb 2015 04:15:23 GMT john_d 2015-02-12T04:15:23Z https://community.ruckuswireless.com/t5/Access-Points-Indoor-and-Outdoor/R700-benchmarked-against-a-consumer-router-matches-my-experience/m-p/43242#M12338 This URL was shared by the Ruckus twitter account, and I figured it's worth talking about here too in case others haven't seen it:&nbsp;<A href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a76mjIg8cZ0" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a76mjIg8cZ0</A><BR /><BR />Although I'm not a big fan of presenting all the results in a youtube video, the guy tests a R700 against the WRT1900AC, which uses a Broadcom 3x3:3 AC chipset and regular omni antennas.
