Hey guys,
Need your input about my newly acquired AC1200 Realtek 812AU based USB 3.0 cards.
My setup:
- Asus ROG laptop with USB 3.0 and SSD on Win7
- Netgear R7000 AC1900 router located 5 ft away without any wall in between
- Synology 5-bay 7200 RPM NAS
I first installed the drivers, then plugged the card in.
Results when downloading 5 to 10 gigabytes MKV files from my NAS: 160 mbps. It'll never go higher than that.
As a comparison, my mid 2014 Macbook Pro averages 700 mbps when downloading the same files on the same NAS from the same distance.
My USB 3.0 port is working fine. With a Sandisk Extreme card I can get up to ~1000 mbps on the port.
I tried a different USB 3.0 cable, no success. I tried to relocate the AC1200 receiver, no success. I even tried to play with every single advanced parameter of my driver, no success. As a last resort, I updated the driver to a newer one from a different website (December 2016), no success.
