    R8500 NEW firmware just released

    Does anyone know what version of OpenSSL and what version of DNSMasq is this firmware running? Does anyone know if there have been any significant changes since the last firmware, or still running versions 0.9.8f and 2.15, respectively? Thanks [edited]

    RT-AC88U wireless coverage issues?

    Not hiding SSID. Tried using a different tool and saw the same behavior. This tool scans and recommends a channel and it kept hopping between 1, 6 and 11 which suggests it is something to do with the surrounding 2.4GHz signals. However the 5GHz signal is relatively flat, and the Netgear R8500...

If I had the right screws to wall mount this sucker that would make life a lot easier. Out of curiosity what is the "ideal" height for WiFi routers with antenna like...

    RT-AC88U wireless coverage issues?

    Channel was #6 while I was testing. Didn't narrow the channel bandwidth though. It just seems like it doesn't handle interference very well; it can't overpower it. Maybe I'll try channel #11.

    RT-AC88U wireless coverage issues?

    I've been troubleshooting some wireless and networking issues in my apartment; keeping in mind it is a 350 sq. ft. studio in Manhattan so small space to cover coupled with huge amounts of interference from other WiFi networks. I've been going back and forth between the Asus RT-AC88U and the...
