Comparing
- 148f:3070 Ralink Technology, Corp. RT2870/RT3070 Wireless Adapter
& rt2800usb.ko & Co. / rt2870.bin
- 0bda:8171 Realtek Semiconductor Corp. RTL8188SU 802.11n WLAN Adapter
& r8712u.ko / rtl8712u.bin
Realtek RTL8188SU easily outperformes Ralink RT3070
in managed i.e. Station (STA) infrastructure mode, despite
...
r8712u: module is from the staging directory, the quality is unknown, you have been warned.
r8712u: Staging version
...
With the very same Access Point - AP1.
In this test, Realtek is the king of the road.
- Net draft
RT3070/RTL8188SU Wi-Fi <~20cm LOS~> AP1 Wi-Fi <-> 100Mbit Ethernet switch <-> Ethernet

However, it is important to note,
despite the relatively low throughput
- 148f:3070 Ralink Technology, Corp. RT2870/RT3070 Wireless Adapter
& rt2800usb.ko & Co. / rt2870.bin
is the combination full featured

°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°
On the other side,
despite the great throughput
- 0bda:8171 Realtek Semiconductor Corp. RTL8188SU 802.11n WLAN Adapter
& r8712u.ko / rtl8712u.bin
is the combination supports only managed i.e. Station (STA) infrastructure mode
Besides it needs some help with the suspend/resume cycle

& rtl8192su.ko / rtl8192sufw.bin
is the combination supports master i.e. AccessPoint (AP) infrastructure mode,
and testing has proved, with the very low throughput, but still usable
