On the performance front, it showed average performance. We ran QCheck to

check its performance, which gave us a TCP throughput of 20 Mbps whereas the UDP

throughput was 16 Mbps. As compared to the Asus WL-520G wireless router

(reviewed April 2007 ), Micronet Wirless Router gave less throughput in TCP (22

Mbps) and UDP (19 Mbps). The response time for both TCP and UDP was 2 ms which

is average.

Price: Rs 2,800



Key Specs: IEEE 802.11 g/b, WEP, WPA, 1 LAN Port (10/100 M)

Further we transferred 50 MB data from its wireless network to a PC connected

to this device over a wired network, and it took us 48 seconds to do the data

transfer, whereas the Asus took only 34 seconds for the same job. For checking

the coverage of the wireless network, we placed a notebook at about 20 ft from

this device and the results were not satisfactory, as the throughput for both

TCP and UDP decreased by 3 Mbps which otherwise remained constant for Asus.

Bottomline: Being a low cost wireless router it is good for home users.
