Netis WF2415 300Mbit Wireless N Gigabit Router Review

Wired LAN Performance

Fixed Block Size

To test the maximum throughput speed that a connection can handle, a fixed block size of 16384 Bytes is sent from the client to the server over a period of five minutes. The higher block size will allow the transfer rate to stay as high as possible – in the same way that large files transfer from one drive to another quicker than lots of small files of the same total size.

Variable Packet Size

In a real world situation, the blocks of data that pass through a network adaptor are not of the same size each time, so to give a more realistic impression of how an adaptor performs, the adaptor is once again tested for a period of five minutes. This time however, the block size will vary from 32 Bytes up to 16384 Bytes in increasing steps of 148.7 Bytes each time.

The Netis WF2415 Wireless Gigabit Router performs pretty great on the wired connection, reaching very close to the theoretical maximum of 1Gbps. Variable packet sized are naturally slower, but the WF2415 also did great at those.
