Test of Signal strength

Test scenario: Downloading of a 20GB file from a Wireless NAS while walking away and back to the router.

>Flooding the Router using linux system.

As we can see from the charts, signal strength started to drop after a 4M distance from the router. However the download speed maintained at a speed of 190kb/s which surprised me.
For the second test scenario, using a linux system, I flooded the router with data and lots of open connections. I was quite surprised that the router could take the torture and did not reboot which is what will typically happen with normal routers.
