Come on guys, if you wanna word battle, go DM. Your arguing about income vs price in a router thread = POINTLESS! If a product is to expensive, dont buy it or educate yourself and get a better salary/job. Or buy the cheaper brand or model....solved. If you think it's a toy, build your own then...

SOLUTION FOUND FOR MEDIA BRIDGE To make media bridge stable, I got the solution in another thread. USE FW 380.66 on AC66U (I used Merlins - the last one in 380.66 series - it was called 380.66_4). Have not lost connection and required reboot for months (august 2nd i changed) since i changed...

1300MBps link is NOT the same thing as 1300Mbps transfer speed. If that was the case it would be faster than gigabit wired connection, which it is not, not even under best cicumstances with a 66u. As a comparison my max Phy rate is 1733Mbps, but without a solid RSSI it is not worth more than a...

Yes clients connect to the bridge by wire, but communication between router and media bridge is wireless and there is the speed limiting link, which you can meassure by ie doing a transfer from - wired nas on router - via wireless link - to pc wired to media bridge. Ok, might try going to...

Overall the 66u works a lot better with no reboots needed, BUT I am experiencing ocassional drops in wifi wifi performance. Easily seen when streaming movies where i get sudden "short breaks" of maybe 0.5s or judder (not gpu related) and then it catches up again for some 30minutes before next...

I'll be damned, the media bridge is still up, have been using it a couple of days now without issues. FANTASTIC recommendation - HUUUGE THANKS :) :D IT WORKS I was changing firmware on my router AC-2900 as a first step before but that did not help at all (had a 66u there before too but...

Thanks Val D I am going to try that version at once. If it works this is godsend info. Is that 380.66_ 0,2,4 or 6 on merlins page below? https://sourceforge.net/projects/asuswrt-merlin/files/RT-AC66U/Release/ Just rebooted the bridge again lol, getting used to have movie breaks lol

No, not even in 2019 on the final Merlin FW 380.70 Media bridge works. With 5 clients on the media bridge ports, I have disconnets and need to reboot about every 2nd hour = it even GOT WORSE, from when this thread was active. To me, thats enough proof never yo buy an Asus router again. Even...

A client cant change the MAC - the MAC is the only thing that is static. The router might misinterpret IPs though

I tried on main router (the one You CAN set): - Full auto = disconnects - Control Channel 100 (best based on network enighbourhood) + ext ch. auto (only choice) - 80MHz fixed + ext ch. auto (only choice) - 20/40/80 MHz (allowing it to fall back on 40 or 20 if conflicts. Since Ch100 is used...

Oh bummer, I read the nrs in wrong direction. Though, Im sure the same issues resides in the 86U - will change my conslusion accordingly Thanks

Media bridge Firmware breakdown based on this thread RT-AC68U (RT-1900 = the same) <----EDIT: mixed up with RT-2900 ..changed to 1900/68u "Stable" versions reported 3.0.0.4.382_10513 (barrrybulb) 380.70 (digimax) 3.0.0.4.378.4850 or Merlin 378 (neoshi thinks this should work - dont...

Hi I am having major issues wity my AC-66 as media bridge node on merlins 380.70 (final release) - Broadcom BCM5300 chip rev 1 main router being RT-2900 (bascially same as AC-86) on Asus FW 3.0.0.4.384_45149 - 5MHz ch width 20/40/80MH (main channel 100, extension Auto) Used for Media bridge...

Not even the RT-AC2900 (same as AC86 basically - except red stuff on chassis) supports 160 MHz. My guess, to make people buy the GT for more :) Not that 160MHz is very useful in a flat complex like where i live but, would be nice to have. Specs dont differ much - same amount of antennas, MIMO...

Is underscore _ Considered a special character? I have used that instead of space since draft N was introduced and never knew that this could cause issues
