    Lost 50 signal

    RT-AC66U Router has developed a wireless problem? Wife uses 24 GHz band with her iPhone, I _could_ use 24 or 50 GHZ band with my Note3 Android. Today I noticed that my phone no longer displayed the 59 GHz band as available. Router is in middle of the house so range is not an issued. Wired...

    If you have data to support this I would appreciate seeing it. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N900A using Tapatalk

    It would be nice if Routers were "Install and Forget" however with the evolving market place it seems like maybe swap-out every 2-3 years is more appropriate. So I'll not worry about dust build up. PITA to replace and reconfig. I'll give you that. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N900A using Tapatalk

    How does a fan (too close) kill the wireless range? Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N900A using Tapatalk

    Coverage/range of an ASUS Router

    Am trying to assess my house's requirement for coverage from a Router. We currently have a ASUS AC 66 (?) router. How can I measure it's coverage and make a educated assessment if it's "enough" or not?

    Is NAS the right way to go?

    For a mixed home network with a Mac, a PC, a Smart TV, etc. hard wired which is user-easier?

    NAD for ASUS AC Router.

    Our home network has ASUS ACRouter with a Smart TV, iMac, Blu Ray player, Win10 wired in; 2 cell phones ~ 3 tablets on wireless. I want to add 3 TB storage so wife and I can common store photos.

    AC66U stutters.

    Here's an update. We had so many problems with Internet access that I am ready to dump our ISP - Brighthouse Networks. After 2 + weeks of up & down service BHN sent out a different crew that specializes in fixing "something" (we never did find out exactly what "it" was). During that process...

    AC66U stutters.

    L&LD you are right on the money. I had to reset twice and then update the password/IDs 3 different times till they "took" _very_ annoying. But sure would like to track down why the thing went wonky. Is ASUS QA/QC so poor that these lose their minds often?

    AC66U stutters.

    I'm thinking about ditching this router. It's performance has been disappointing and neither the signal strength nor reliablity has improved over the Linksys that it replaced. For instance this morning wifie reported that her iPhone could not find the 2.4 GHz signal. I called up the ASUS...

    Whats the Best and most Powerful router in 2015?

    My I put a question in here? I have a ASUS 66U and have read here that it is the exact duplicate of a 66 (?). So here's my question: What does the trailing letter, -U, -W, -R, -P designate then?

    ASUS RT-AC3200/AC68U/AC66U

    My 66 came with a cable that was listed s cat6 but didn't look right to me. Never used it.
