    On .1354 the adaptive QOS blows for me. Had to go to traditional QOS for Netflix to work with my sons Xbox running. I am thinking of resetting it and starting fresh instead upgrading from 858 which I did previously. Anyone else try out Adaptive QOS? Any issues?

    Correct me if I am wrong, but isn't the hard drive speeds also a factor in this windows file transfer test? More to the point, if someone has an SSD and the other has a platter, the channel is slowed by the drive and not the throughput of the network. Just something I think could be a factor in...

    Here is after the .858 firmware downloaded from Asus at the same location, the 5ghz on the N66 still bouncing you just see the lower end of the bounce compared to the ones above, hope it helps: Looking through my notes prior to swapping out the N66 with the 88U, this same location readings...

    Here is a comparison in my house in the center between both routers at an equal distance, one on each end of the house on the main floor with the routers in the basement: So you can see a significant difference in the 2.4ghz, and a little difference in the 5ghz. But Again, the 5Ghz channel...

    The range difference for me when checked by inssider shows a more stable signal throughout "my" house. I can see at times, a -10 db increase in both channels, those spots that were troublesome with the N66 are pretty stable in my 1700 sqft ranch with a finished basement (two story?). The router...

    I am still playing with it, and haven't thoroughly tested anything yet but I went into the Lan settings, switch control, bonded Lan1 and Lan2 together, then I could see in the router interface that there are two Mac addresses associated to the diskstation, then went into the Synology interface...

    Got my 88U in today, set it up and it's saying firmware version 3.0.0.4.664 is the latest, but I think I saw others with different. I can say that Link Aggregation works, I am getting much better signal throughout the house on both 2.4 and 5 ghz and I may not need to use my N66 for an AP, I...

    I connected my Synology NAS in Link Aggregation and it seems to work. I am still playing with the other settings but I am happy to report that it appears to be working.

    I have the N66 too, and am upgrading to the 88U simply because I didn't want to deal with Quantenna. If I only wanted 4 ports though, I would have likely gone with the 3100. The 87U is more established from a firmware standpoint though, and I am sure that the 88U will have to have some patience...

    Yeah, mine is two day shipping and I tried to change it it only gives me 4-5 day option or keep the 2 day. Usually Amazon gets new products to me the day it's released, but this one seems much different, we'll see, maybe lots of pre orders... who knows, it would be nice if they gave a release...

    Awesome! I am travelling this week and it will just be a box my wife sets aside for me.. I'll be in the hotel room squirming and pacing, but I'll get to see your experiences before I get to come home and play. Keep us up to date!

    We are all guinea pigs with everything we buy today. I have my expectations limited with the new routers, but I only use a handful of features. The last product that I bought that worked exactly as marketed was a hammer. While that is obviously facetious, it represents a single purposed item...
