    RT-N66U - Erratic Wireless Performance

    I've already emailed support. I am starting to think they don't care. Its days before they respond and when they do I've been given useless things to do like reboot, reinstall firmware from restoration tool and change channels or to just RMA which I don't think is a hardware issue. Since 2.4...
