[Asus Transformer TF700] the_game_master:
Yes I'm very disappointed, and what I'm about to explain next I hope to at least persuade or at least inform on the details of why 65Mbps is simply not enough for a modern day wireless device.

First I'm not talking about my internet speeds. Is the 20/2 you posted the upload and download speeds from your ISP, well that's ok, it's a little above the nation's average.

When I'm saying my Infinity is only pulling 65Mbps I'm talking about the speed it's achieving from the wireless on my local network.

common speeds are generally 100Mbps for Ethernet if using the an old 10/100Mbit router, and 54Mbps over wireless if using a Wireless G router.

10/100Mbps speeds have been around for more than a decade now and have been succeeded by Gigabit ethernet offering 1000Mbps. Wireless speeds have gone past 54Mbps since 802.11n was officially certified in 2009.

If you stream video from your computer, HTPC, HD Game console (PS3/X360),

Transfer large files between your computers, do any kind of remote desktop, your bandwidth on your local network comes into play.

What I'm trying to do is optimize the performance of Splashtop THD which requires massive bandwidth for streaming games between a PC and a tablet.

Under my old Belkin N150 G+ router I was only getting 65Mbps, which I thought was the max speed that the router would do because my XPS laptop was pulling the same rate over wireless (till I discovered that I never enabled the b/g/n 20/40MHz bandwidth capability on my laptop's network adapter to get higher speeds, so now my laptop is doing 270Mbps on my new N900 router where it initially was doing 130Mbps before I enabled the 20/40MHz)

Looking at the network settings on the Transformer Infinity doesn't have any option for 20/40MHz setting. I already knew it couldn't do dual band and be able to see a 5GHz broadcast but the fact that it's only showing 65Mbps, shows that this device wifi card is even more limited.

When I initially got Splashtop THD installed on my Transformer Infinity to test this out, the lag pretty much killed me let alone the degradation was pretty huge. I later read up from Splashtop support pages that the performance is dependent upon the bandwidth. Which makes since, so I used my D-Link USB ethernet adapter and connected my Infinity over a LAN connection at 100Mbps. This improved Splashtop THD quite a bit, there was still some lag but the quality look decent.

Here are some example screenshots I took of Splashtop THD playing at 100Mbps

This setup is moot since the device is not mobile anymore since I got it on a 100Mb ethernet adapter. This drove my attention to upgrade to Gigabit and true Wireless N speeds.

Luckily in 2012. Gigabit speeds is a common feature of a $70 price ranged router, but I wanted something more than the typical N300 routers so I got the big daddy N900 so I could do 450Mbps wireless which over 4x the amount I was getting over ethernet. :cool:

But sadly my goal is stopped in it's tracks due to the Transformer Infinity having the hardware of a pinto.

How on Earth could anyone think 65Mbps max for Wifi in 2012, on a tablet of all devices is enough.

Hell this puts the Transformer Infinity out of the realm of being a decent streaming media device, when it can't even hang with modern media device's mobile speeds.
