So I set up a fiddler proxy on my PC which is connected to my lan via 1Gbit wired.
Loaded up a simple file server on my PC.
Configured the Switch to use the fiddler proxy on my PC
The Switch is connected via WiFi.

I then added a redirect to my file server and voila! As you can see, downloading a 1.5GB file onto the switch results in a transfer speed of 89MB/s which is the speed that my SDCard is rated at - Samsung PRO+ UHS3 90MB/s.

Although I'm not sure if it's using the SDCard or the eMMC NAND but either way it's blazingly fast!

dunno how your even getting close to them speeds the max i get if i'm lucky from a lan connection using the adapter in usb is 23 Mbps :glare:
802.11ac is the answer. It's a beast wireless.
Also going to a localserver of course helps.

Basically when we get some sort of exploit on the switch we can dump the entire nand in about 6 minutes. Far cry from the 30++ minutes it takes on my 3DS.. Giggity.

from what? the connection test on the switch?

For the download it grabs a 30MB file. I noticed that while using the proxy. Technically if you have a fast enough connection the file will complete before you can even measure the speed, which is why I used a 1.5GB file.

Yes I wanted to test the potential of the wireless controller. There has been so much misinformation spread around I had to see for myself. I am quite satisfied.

I wonder why it drops as soon as it goes outside the network. I mean the browser isn't officially released so that might be a reason why? or something?

I am still experimenting I am setting up a remote server to test with and see if I can max out my connection

the cable modem already has it's own built in wifi i can't change it and it's not 802.11ac

i changed my routers mtu to 1500 it actually made it worse now it's dropped to 12 Mbps..

There are ways around that. I also have an ISP provided gateway modem/router, bonded T2200H, I just logged into it and "bridged" it thus rendering it a pure modem, then connected it to my 802.11ac 3x3 router. You can do that with most gateways.

I do not have fiber in my area yet dammit so had to settle for the dual adsl bond.

Well I got fiber, 100/100 so if you find anything good, I can help you test out and see if we can max my line, or atleast close to it.

I have 2 bonded 50/15 making a 100/30 :P

Hey thanks, I plan on using my connection as the RX side and a remote backbone connection as the TX but if I have any trouble I'll let ya know.

it's a shit Netgear CG3000v2 and it limits both wifi and lan to 20 Mbps even my kodi box can't go above 20 Mbps the only time i get the max speed which is around 90 Mbps is through this computer

I got 50MBPS download speed on wifi, it downloads eshop games fast. Is not like we need more, we're not streaming 4K videos at 60FPS or anything. :P

Though i kinda am disappointed no kind of media streaming service exist, or even just video/music playback. :wtf:

    I thought PS4/5 and Xbox One emulation would be kind of easy since they basically just a PC
  • ColdBlitz @ ColdBlitz:
    they sorta are a pc
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    They haslve dedicated on board chips that aren't tweaked like x64/x32 afaik
  • ColdBlitz @ ColdBlitz:
    but its a custom os for both of them
  • ColdBlitz @ ColdBlitz:
    designed for only specific hardware
  • ColdBlitz @ ColdBlitz:
    so you have to learn to emulate that specific hardware which isn't as easy as you'd think
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    It's a locked down Linux distro basically
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    I think the only custom hardware is to do with the SSD and a security chip
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Probably combined in one chip
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    They place married security chips onto boards iirc

    I'm avoiding buying from the big 3 at all atm
