I can confirm that the max interface speed the RB153 can handle through a WLan Interface is around 10.4Mbps or 1.3MBytes/s.
A test to check if the transmission strength is impacted upon high usage - can not be confirmed. I did a longer test by downloading some data from outside the Internet (e.g. data has to pass through pppoe interface and out to wlan - max 6MBit limited by ADSL speed) did not show anything unusual. The 10.4Mbps tests are cut out - as I have reconfigured my Monitoring system.
Check out for yourselves. You can see that the CPU Load goes high when traffic goes high. 100% is always reached when doing transfers at 10.4Mbps.
So yes - the amximum transfer speed of the RB153 is limited by the CPU.
Any chance to overclock the CPU ? Guess the RB5xx Series boards have the same CPU inside - it should be possible to do so - or am I wrong ?
