    RT-AC87 5GHz wonkiness

    Good point with the reset. I think I remember something about clearing the NVRAM... I'll try that tonight.

    RT-AC87 5GHz wonkiness

    I am not far from the router. It's in the basement, and I'm on the first floor, almost right on top. It has never been an issue with previous routers. I do get a signal even two floors above. On the first floor I get between 585 and 700Mbps, IF the connection is there. I just changed DTIM to 2...

    RT-AC87 5GHz wonkiness

    Ok. That's it. After running for a few days (no more than 4), and some instability experienced yesterday with various iPads and MacBook, all devices lost wifi network last night. I had to hard reset the router. As I expected, there was absolutely NOTHING in the log files. I will reflash the...

    RT-AC87 5GHz wonkiness

    I changed my 5GHz channel to 48... So far the line portraying the speed for it is straight like an arrow at 585Mbps... Which is good, methinks. I've done exactly that. I experienced issues on channel 161. So I switched it to 48. While it seemed better for a long time, I noticed that the...

    RT-AC87 5GHz wonkiness

    So I'm running Merlin 380.57 for a few days now. Today, while streaming a movie from my NAS via VLC on the MacBook, the network speed came to a grinding halt in the 5GHz band. The highest I saw was 585Mbps, but it then went all the way down to 7, then to 0, at which point my NAS disconnected...

    So I installed the latest Merlin firmware now. I'll post back here with my findings.

    RT-AC87 5GHz wonkiness

    Thank you. I am hesitant flashing the router with a non-Asus firmware; however I don't think it could be much worse than the original ;-) What I did in the meantime is to turn off both beam forming settings for 5GHz. I read that Apple devices don't like those too much. If this did not improve...

    RT-AC87 5GHz wonkiness

    I am running firmware 3.0.0.4.378_9460 and experience widely varying speeds in the 5GHz network. The highest speed I see is 585 Mbps, but oftentimes it goes down all the way to 7Mbps. It is not stable. I noticed it first, when I was streaming music to my Apple TV via airplay, and the music...

    AC87U - MacBook disconnected, coming out of sleep

    I reset the router with the default settings and setup two SSIDs for 2.4 and 5 GHz. Previously, I used the same SSID for both. I configured the Mac to connect to both networks. So far (for about a day or so), it seems fine. I will continue watching the issue.

    AC87U - MacBook disconnected, coming out of sleep

    When my MacBook Air wakes from sleep it shows the wifi as connected to my 5 GHz network. But no traffic is flowing. The only way to restore traffic is by turning off wifi, and back on. Then everything is flowing nicely. I am running firmware 3.0.0.4.378_9383 on the router. This particular...
