hi asusmy,
just got my asus n56u router today. this is my setup. using streamyx 8mbps (in theory 8mbps down, 512kbps up)

modem (dlink 2730e) ---> router (n56u) ---> pc (via usb wireless dongle) and laptop (built in adapter). all using 2.4ghz.

all adapters are b/g/n capable.

the thing is, after setting up the basics like bridging the modems, and wifi key thingy, the PC can achieve max internet speed (8mbps). however for laptop wireless mode, i only get around 4mbps . in wired can achieve max speed.

note that previous router, the laptop wireless mode can get max speed too.

any idea why my laptop wireless mode cant get full speed using n56u?

found the culprit just now. it was the adapters driver being TOO up to date. reverting to the 2008 driver solves the problem. im using broadcom 802.11n wireless adapter that is built into acer aspire 4741g. now i can taste full internet speed wirelessly.

now for the torrent issues. tried downloading ubuntu torrent, can reach full speed. but when torrenting a movie worth 10gb, the speed crawls. did tmnet applies specific file throttle to p2p?

and how to check how much simultaneous connection did p2p applies to the router?

btw, using the latest firmware.

for the ubuntu i get around 800 - 900kB/s however for the movie file, it only goes min 40kB/s up to 300kB/s only.

currently using utorrent 2.2.1 and on the previous router, it maxes the speed quickly.

finally i got stable speed from the same torrent. for utorrent i had to check global rate limit options, which is limit utp and transport overhead. PLUS make sure to set upload limit to somewhere around 37kB/s for 8mb streamyx. limiting them too low will cripple the speed.

the good thing about this router is that i can actually play online games with manageable latency (still increase but not much) while max speed torrenting. very nice!

is there any tips n tricks for this router? i disabled the 5g option since i dont have any capable devices.

where can i get rt-ac1300uhp beta firmware that can support 800mbps?

TQVM blacktubi!
