Ran some quick number on 7260ac vs aw-ce123h (bm4352)

Test done with ac66u as iperf server, xjperf on windows 10, using win 10 build in driver for both card.
17.15 for intel
6.30.223.256 for bcm

Range is about 20-30 feet, open door in room, 1 dry wall.

7260ac get from 8-10 MB/s

Aw-ce123h get 11-14 MB/s

This is ballpark looking at peak stable performance, the are time both dip to 5-6, probably my own network issue.

Did not test close range because my precision battery is dead and the ac adapter is tied down to the desk. I will see if the Broadcom work in my x200, if it does I will put some more number.

The Broadcom chip driver does have option to prefer 5.2 ghz, so that's pretty much tie intel driver side for me.

2.4ghz for both card stable at 5-7, where 7260ac get upper end 6MB/s , aw-ce123h stay at 5MB/s to lower end 6MB/s most of the time

I don't have a atheros chip, so I can't compare, I will happily trade either for a atheros (US only ) and run some number. Yea, and I only have ac66u as ac client.

Thanks for that. Could you re-run those with most recent drivers for both cards?

The broadcom works in my x200, will try to do maybe 2-3 location when I find some time this week.
