There only is one factor that is important when testing a device like this, and that is throughput. To test this I’m using LAN Speed Test, a a simple and free to use application that creates a file of any given size and pushes it across a network to a given destination folder, thereby measuring the maximum speed of throughput during the file transfer.
Software used:
- LAN Speed Test
To get the most accurate throughput speed, I’ve set the file size to 1GB and run a series of 10 continues tests. To further add a variation to the data set, I’ve tested the adaptors at a varying range throughout my apartment where medium range is an estimated 20m cable distance and long range is an estimated 60m cable distance; the furthest I can go in my apartment.
