    Asus RT-N66U or RT-AC66U, which one to buy?

    My N66U has been performing at this level for the last two years until recent firmware upgrade (two version ago), the file transfer speed has never be faster than 2MB/s, used to be around 4MB/s, not a lot but fast enough to be practical. There is no change in the network during this performance...

    RT-N66U official firmware 3.0.0.3_162

    man, RT-N66U surely is a strong router, but the radiation is as well strong. Just test the radiation from a meter, the old linksys shows safe until next to it, while RT-N66U shows extreme dangerous even 2-3 feet away. The large coverage does come with a price. Just make sure you don't sit...

    7000 sq ft house - wifi and no cat5

    The outperformed linksys EA4500 is also on 2.4ghz 20mhz only and showing 216 rssi, so this alone must not be the problem. however I'll try your tip, love to have 450. linksys extender/repeater RE1000. but lately I learnt about repeater loose half throughput, this idea is out. I actually tried...

    RT-N66U, another beta firmware: 3.0.0.3_155

    Tried on both 112 and 162, not sure if mine is defect, I have two wifi cam (640x480), when watch them on a PC (2.4Ghz), it's frame per second drops significantly to merely 1, 2 from normal 10 fps, then while watching the wifi cam, HD streaming (on a different PC on 5Ghz) lag become very...

    7000 sq ft house - wifi and no cat5

    It's clear now, when both connected in in coverage, the RT-N66U bandwidth for concurrent connection throughput is jammed with multiple streaming, web surfing, while linksys EA4500 handles well. I've tried latest beta 162 firmware but no improvement. Looks like I'll have to consider linksys...

    RT-N66U official firmware 3.0.0.3_162

    By stale, I mean the speed drops to very low. I don't have ip6 tunnel on (in the type dropdown it says disabled). However, just loaded 162, will see how it plays.

    RT-N66U official firmware 3.0.0.3_162

    is 144 the last official? it's not available from within the router upgrade UI. 112 is still on mine showing the most current. However, on 112 I've experienced daily stale and had to reboot at a daily basis, otherwise the router is awesome. I run linksys EA4500 and N66U side by side, both...

    7000 sq ft house - wifi and no cat5

    In your experience can EA4500 + RE1000 effectively bring the same coverage as RT-N66U? It is said the repeater can cut throughput in half (I testified that with rampled repeater, not good), will RE1000 be the same? I have a feeling the RT-N66U is overloaded with the number of activity in my...

    7000 sq ft house - wifi and no cat5

    Where can I find the rx checkbox (still wondering around Asus' admin UI)? However, at the end of 1st day RT-N66U started to underpeform quite a bit. Signal on android is bare minimum with less than 1mb speed, youtube on desktop (both on far side of the house where android used to get nothing...

    7000 sq ft house - wifi and no cat5

    My house is 8000 sq ft, last night I tested both linksys EA4500 and RT-N66U. With linksys my samsung android has problem to pick up signal at the edge of backyard (the same spot has no 3G signal either), while RT-N66U has strong signal all over the backyard as well as driveway. The router is...
