    Looking for router supprting Unii 2extended channels at full power

    All of my iOS devices seem to work iPad2 or higher, iPhone 5c or higher. My Asus USB-AC56 which previously had high ratings on this site sees NONE of the APs on unii2 / 2e. I suspect it is a driver region issue (no recent driver updates available), but it is my least important 5Ghz client at...

    Looking for router supprting Unii 2extended channels at full power

    The Ubiquiti Unifi Gen2 APs are currently getting DFS (Unii 2 and Unii 2extended) support rolled out in some regions already, the North American Firmware with support is in beta right now. https://www.ubnt.com/unifi/unifi-ap-ac-pro/ One thing to keep in mind is that clients inconsistently...

    Ubiquiti Announces $89 AC1200 Access Point

    One thing most people don't pay attention to is the number of STREAMs routers and clients support. Your MacBook should support 3 spatial streams, but your AP-AC-Lite only supports 2 per channel... The AP-AC-PRO supports three, your RT-AC87R supports four. In short you should expect your...

    Ubiquiti Announces $89 AC1200 Access Point

    No need for a cloud key, I have the controller running in a VM on my home server. Was tempted to just use the new mobile app setup but I wanted the metrics

    Ubiquiti Announces $89 AC1200 Access Point

    2.4 absolutely covers my whole home reliably now. 5 just can't penetrate enough of the house however so I might still end up getting a second unit. The thing is however that most of the dead zones would only be used by lower bandwidth devices anyway and the 2.4 signal is so much more stable...

    Ubiquiti Announces $89 AC1200 Access Point

    Pulled the trigger on the UAP-AC-PRO as I really wanted band steering and a more reliable setup... Haven't done extensive testing but it is besting my ASUS RT-AC68U in usable range on both 2.4 and 5Ghz bands. I seem to be topping out throughput on my AC and N devices as well, at least when on...

    Ubiquiti Announces $89 AC1200 Access Point

    I noticed the SNB AP review list is really short, I am looking at the UAP-AC-PRO but I have noted a few places have reported its throughput as less than the current TP-Link Archer and even the Apple Airport Extreme. I would have to special order it as well, no one has local stock of these things.

    RP-AC56 as an AP?

    Well this thread is discouraging. I wonder if the North American release is any better. I am primarily interested in a low cost AC class AP that has roaming assist if anyone has suggestions.

    RP-AC56 as an AP?

    Totally different thing but Asus could do better with their naming. But that is also why I provided a product link.

    RP-AC56 as an AP?

    https://www.asus.com/ca-en/Networking/RP-AC56/ I just noticed this model appeared and the big feature for me is that it supports Roaming Assist which essentially kicks clients that have a weak signal. Until now I had only seen this feature in the higher end router line. If the RP-AC56 has good...

    Asuswrt-Merlin 378.53 is now available

    Anyone find the Adaptive QoS screen kinda wacky, not sure if it is just this release. I have App Analysis turned on and when downloading heavily the gauges at the top mostly reflect the correct speed but the bars for the individual clients and apps show minimal or no activity. Also if I expand...

    Asuswrt-Merlin 378.53 is now available

    NAT loopback was not working for me in this release.... It was set to Merlin, I had to change it to ASUS and it started working again.

    Asuswrt-Merlin 378.50 is out

    After some additional testing WAN-LAN speed does seem to be lower or unstable now, still with QoS disabled. I am sometimes hitting near normal speeds but most of the time it is 25%-30% less than usual on my AC68U with a wired connection.

    Asuswrt-Merlin 378.50 is out

    Might have been a coincidence and a temporary ISP issue. Speeds seem to be back to normal.. Now to try out these new features.

    Asuswrt-Merlin 378.50 is out

    WAN throughput down by 20%? Even with QoS off / not enabled? I haven't turned on any of the new AIProtect features ether. I was able to consistently hit 100 or even 104Mbit/s speeds on speedtest.net and my ISPs own speed test page, however after doing a full clean reload I am seen a BIG speed...
