Pay closer attention to the average throughput results at 2 meters. Notice how the uplink numbers are significantly higher than the downstream results? This anomaly was further amplified with WPA2 encryption at close proximity. Generally, we expected the router's 5GHz results to surpass its 2.4GHz performance since it was a simple case of 3x3 versus 2x3 streams after all. At 10 meters, average throughput speeds were recorded at 70Mbps or thereabouts. At 25 meters, the E4200's downstream throughput clocked 59Mbps on average. It is not staggering fast, but at least it's almost twice as fast as test results gathered from the 2.4GHz band. However, it is apparent the E4200 was unable to breach the 100Mbps ceiling as ASUS did for distances near and far.
