Since I compared the AirPort Extreme to an Asus RT-N66U 802.11n router in that story, I decided to compare the 802.11ac Time Capsule’s performance to an Asus RT-AC66U 802.11ac router this time (neither Asus model has an internal hard drive). Copying a single 10GB file across the network requires much less time, thanks to the OS X and Time Capsule firmware updates.Īs I reported in my earlier review of Apple’sĨ02.11n AirPort Extreme, some non-Apple routers deliver better performance than Apple’s products, but they lack the Apple-specific features that make Apple’s routers so easy to use-at least with Macs. Copying that file back to the iMac took place at 551.4 mbps, compared to 163.5 mbps before the updates. An operation that previously required more than 10 minutes could now be finished in less than five. The speed at which I could copy a single 10GB file from the iMac to the MacBook Air jumped by an even bigger margin: from 134 mbps to 482.1 mbps. The speed at which those files were read over the wireless network (that is, copied back to the iMac from the MacBook Air) also more than doubled, from 132.1 mbps to 309.1 mbps.

With the new software and firmware, the same task required slightly less than nine minutes because the file transfer occurred at 164.3 mbps. It does not store any personal data.The new software/firmware cut the time required to transfer a 10GB collection of files across the wireless network by more than half.
