I've got an R7800 right now, and Wi-Fi Easy Connect is supposed to be one of my requirements, but I haven't been able to find any routers yet that advertise it. Anyone knows any? The Wi-Fi Alliance product finder only lists some Qualcomm SoCs and some Fujitsu phones, and I know all Android...

Thanks for the suggestion, I already ordered a switch cause I need more reliability anyway cause I'm running a VPN off the RPi.

Thanks for the suggestion but I think Powerline would be overcomplicating things in my case. Also it seems from seeing reviews that even though you may get close to gigabit link speeds, real speeds are about 200 Mb/s in the better scenarios. My internet tops out at about 480 Mb/s, plus I...

I think you got it correctly, it's a pretty simple setup. I have the R7800 as my main router, and from that I connect a bridge (either the AC68U or R6250) through the 5GHz band, which is shared with all my other STAs as you stated. From the bridge, I run ethernet to my PS3, Apple TV 4K and a...

I understand why it's better for "mesh" systems, which have repeaters, but my use case is to connect an AC86U as a media bridge (stock Asus firmware) to a R7800 as the main router. This AC68U will go behind the TV where I'll run Ethernet to several devices from it. Right now I have it connected...

Can you also try plugging in the phone to charge and test it like that? Preferably with the battery full or near full so it's not drawing too much power from the charger and generating extra heat from that. I've had phones that slow down WiFi when running on battery.

Why not leave the router where it is, and get another router or AP and put it in bridge mode at the end where wired is needed? I've bought 3-stream AC routers that I use like this for as low as $20 (Walmart sale of Netgear R6250), but more usually you can get sales for around $50~60...

This is the perfect camera for my usage, except I want local NVR recording, sigh. Anyone knows something similar with that ability? Small, battery powered, WiFi.

I've seen that thread before, but that guy doesn't provide any details of what he's using. I do doubt that just aggregating 2 Gb ports would magically enable a 1733 Mb/s link though.

I think TCP vs UDP makes a difference. How are you testing exactly? Is UDP a reasonable way to test actually?

I just replaced my WiFi chip to an Intel 9260 on my Razer Blade Stealth, and have the R7800. Has anyone actually achieved these two to link on 160 MHz? I have enabled HT160 on the router, and have the latest firmware (V1.0.2.44, and also didn't work in 1.0.2.40). Also installed the latest...

Hey guys, I have been monitoring this thread for a while. It seems the routers with this Quantenna chip are having some of the similar issues, and I have a Netgear R7500, which like this one, is producing massive battery drain on Android devices on 5GHz. Can anyone tell if this latest firmware...
