Hey I have an AC66U running the latest merlin FW anyways a couple of days ago I changed my 2.4ghz radio channel from 6 to 10 and instantly tripled my speed (from 30 to 90 mbps). Although the speed is much faster sometimes it slows down all the way to 3mbps and even though my speed was slower before it never had drop offs like this it wouldn't bother me if I didn't stream a lot of stuff. Anyways I think 10 might be a bad channel and overlapping with other signals. I remember reading a thread in here that had recommendations on which channels to use but I didn't bookmark it. Most houses around me are on channels 1, 6 and 11 for 2.4 ghz and 161 for 5ghz (I'm using 149)
