It isn’t realistic, but it shows the speeds the PCE-AC68U can reach and the bottleneck in this scenario is still likely to be the router. From this perspective the maximum throughput we’ve had from any 802.11ac router so far has been (somewhat surprisingly) the TrendNet TEW-812DRU, which managed a blazing 54.3MBps (434.4Mbps).Ĭontrast this with running files across an unprotected FTP server from a remote location without any wireless interference (the method manufacturers use to claim greater speeds) and we managed to get Asus PCE-AC68 transfer speeds to a mindboggling 86.5MBps (692Mbit) when twinned with the Asus RT-AC68U router. We know this because we test in real world scenarios, which means using WPA2 security and in a residential environment. So how fast is the Asus PCE-AC68? In all truth we don’t honestly know for the simple reason that we are running into the limits of 802.11ac wireless routers before we are hitting the bottleneck of the PCE-AC68. Plus, the heatsink has been crafted for a stylish look, once more showing ASUS always goes beyond the spec. Lower temperatures translate into a more stable device in all climate conditions, even during hot summers, and greater stability means more consistent connectivity and longer product lifespan. The added heatsink uses highly-conductive aluminum to remove heat from the chipset, ensuring greater reliability for non-stop operation. Stylish aluminum heatsink handles heat for extra stability By making the antennas mobile, the design offers more flexibility in choosing locations for better signal reception and quality. A magnetized stand also comes in the box, which can easily attach to various surfaces for more placement options. The three detachable antennas of the PCE-AC68 can be placed remotely via bundled extension cables.
