    powerline charts and possible error

    alright thanks tim. in my environment, I have found some success in deploying these where cabling was not possible. Especially with AV2, (as you mentioned in the write-up above) transfer speeds are a lot more respectable and they seem to be pretty stable too.

    powerline charts and possible error

    Hi there, I was browsing the powerline charts to assess the performance margins of Homeplug AV2 MIMO over HomePlug AV2 SISO devices. I noticed that the "TP-LINK (TL-PA6010KIT)" is listed as AV2 SISO. However, when I opened the official link on TP-Link's own website, this model is listed as...

    Alright thanks for chipping in John! Appreciate the feedback and agree with atkinsom’s idea. Will go for E first, and see if it’s satisfactory. Thanks again and keep up the great work! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    [Fork] Asuswrt-Merlin 374.43 LTS releases (Archive)

    Hi builder, I did read that post a few times, and am aware that E is recommended. My query was if the L build, with the older drivers, still provide a range/throughout advantage compared to E, seeing that it is still being offered as an option. And hence wanted to hear if other N66U users...

    [Fork] Asuswrt-Merlin 374.43 LTS releases (Archive)

    Thanks for the answer! I will try to test both too if I get the time. If anyone else has any experience with E vs L for N66U will be happy to hear your thoughts about it too! :)

    [Fork] Asuswrt-Merlin 374.43 LTS releases (Archive)

    Hello guys, I have a really quick question, hoping you guys can chime in! (I waded through the pages but could not locate the answer, sorry!) I am getting a used N66U from a friend, and have trouble deciding between the E or L build. If coverage and throughput is priority, would you reckon I...

    [RT-N12 D1] Poor wireless range

    I just purchased an Asus RT-N12 D1 to function as an AP while connected to my N56U which has been performing well. However I have not had good performance with this router, in particular on range over 2 walls. This router was meant to replace a strong performer, the Buffalo WZR-HP-G300NH which...

    For RT-AC68U: Which repeater & dongle is best?

    I guess maybe it's the wiring that's putting OP off? I stay in a stone house (in Asia) and would like to do wired APs, but have no idea how to do the cabling without them just running all over the place. All the videos I watch online are on American/European homes where the wall is thinner and...

    Can't get QoS to do anything in RT-AC68U

    Hi a lot of good questions. I'm new to QoS too so looking forward to the answers. Quick question, you say that you could still download at 25Mb when you set QoS to 1Mb. I think they will still allow 1 device to get full bandwidth if no other devices are actively sending packets. So maybe, test...

    How Do I secure Hybrid WDS (Repeater) - ASUS AC68U ?

    Hey yeah to add to what others have said, it's really depends on the manufacturer. I have an Asus RT-N56U that while powerful, only supports WDS unsecured. But I have had good success with Buffalo, particularly WZR-HP-G300NH, I used 2 of the same kind and they do rock solid WDS. But I think...

    oh no...unfortunately yesterday's results were more of just coincidence then a direct effect of 20mhz....today i just rebooted the router and it went back to <1MB/s. No settings changed, just reboot. Thought i'll reflash the fw and reset to factory(20mhz default), again still <1MB/s...
