Routing Performance

Routing performance for the 110 using our standard test method is summarized in Table 1. It measured around 83 Mbps in the WAN to LAN and LAN to WAN tests. But total throughput dropped to 78 Mbps, due to the high variation shown in Figure 5. Although it's hard to see in the composite plot, throughput was nice and steady when running the unidirectional tests.

The Maximum Simultaneous Connections test of 136 connections is actually pretty good for a Linksys router. By comparison, the low-cost WRT150N and WRT160N two-antenna draft 11n routers, using Broadcom CPUs, have similar throughput, but support only 80 and 96 Maximum Simultaneous connections, respectively.
