Alpha Wireless Broadband Router Performance Evaluation

Alpha AFW-GR50 Wireless Broadband Router is our life often used equipment, but how to evaluate the performance of a device? The following is a detailed explanation.

Product testing:

Tested by: Alpha RG50 Wireless Router

The performance test mainly tests the AP throughput and Response Time. In this test, we use the Chariot software to test these two indicators.

Both TCP and UDP belong to the TCP/IP protocol series and are the most famous and commonly used protocols on the Internet. common applications, such as Browsing webpages and downloading files, all belong to TCP applications, UDP is often used in network video and audio. Therefore, we chose TCP and UDP protocols for throughput and response time testing.

The test environment is as follows: a desktop computer is connected to GR50 through a m Nic, a laptop is installed with a wireless Nic, and two computers form a communication link, it shows the TCP packet throughput of GR50 measured by Chariot in about 100 seconds.

Throughput refers to the maximum amount of data that the AP can receive/forward per unit time, and response time refers to a data packet sent from one computer and then sent through the AP to another computer, then return the time required by the first computer, which is the response time of the GR50 for the 100-byte data packet measured by Chariot software. In this test, we test each link three times and take the average value as the result to ensure data reliability as much as possible.

2 802.11b compatibility test (signal condition: Excellent)

GR50 supports both 802.11b and 802.11g protocols. This is a common feature of 802.11g products. Backward compatibility means you can continue to use your old wireless LAN device. The test results in 802.11b mode are as follows:
