    I upgraded to the 4180 firmware a while ago and the last couple of days my router kept dropping internet connection.

    RT-AC3200 noob questions.

    Just have this router a couple of days and made the observation that 5GHz-1 is much weaker than 5 GHz 2. The Windows 10 icon shows viewer bars an ViStumbler and Xirrus WiFi analyzer show also a weaker signal. Is this because it uses a different channel? Is it currently advisable to use Smart...

    Is Force acting as Master Browser important?

    I see in the latest firmwares Force acting as Master Browser listed. Is this important on a router and can it be disabled? In what cases can it cause conflicts? I have Master browser enabled on my unraid server. Should this be disabled? Do 2 Master Browser mean trouble?

    Problem on network maybe related to RT-AC87 router.

    The problem I have is described in this thread: http://www.snbforums.com/posts/252573/ It might be related to the Merlin firmware I have on my RT-AC87, but I'm not sure. Can I just flash an official Asus firmware, clear nvram and reset to factory defaults? What is the correct procedure?

    I have an AC-87 router and I am rather happy with it. Is there any reason to upgrade? to an AC3200 router. Which reasons could there be? The router is placed in a room and I recently found out that one wall has some kind of metal foil in it. Therefore wireless performance is rather poor in...

    Trouble after router replacement.

    I have replaced my broken RT-N66 with a WRT1900ac. All went OK, so it seemed. My older devices still can connect to the internet and my laptop with ac adapter also gets good connection and speed even outdoors. There is one serious problem though. Shares on Thecus and Qnap NAS and unraid...

    Any experience with flashrouters.com?

    Does any of you have any experience with flashrouters.com. Do they just take a router, put dd-wrt or tomato firmware on it and that's it? Or do they add some "magic" to it, so the routers becomes a whole different beast? Do they add extra features to the firmware and add extra support...

    Regarding AC1750 AC1900, how to get most of it?

    If you get an AC 1750 or AC1900 router you will only benefit from it if you have a AC client I presume. Which devices support AC speeds? Can a laptop be upgraded with an AC adapter? So far I only found one, the Intel AC 7260. Is it an easy upgrade? Can I just take out the current one and...

    R7000 or RT-AC68u

    Which is currently the most stable and performant one? I read stories of both, rebooting, losing connection etc. Are these solved in latest firmwares? What about dd-wrt on the R7000? Or perhaps the AC68? Planning to use it with server N devices, iDevices and a Intel 7260AC equipped...

    Questions regarding ac routers

    Do these ac routers really add performance regarding High bitrate streaming (BD rips)? Or is a MOCA connection still a better option? What are the better options? Are there already 2nd or even 3rd gen. routers? What adapter should I get for my laptop?

    Wireless adapter connecting laptop to RT-N66U

    What would you guys recommend for HD-video straming to a laptop? I narrowed it down to the ASUS USB-N66, ASUS EA-N66, Trendnet TEW-684. It would be connecting to a ASUS RT-N66U router. Would a Amped RG2000 be a better option? Or would a MOCA setup be the best?
