Thanks for the reply and information! I was using 384.17 when I first began experiencing intermittent disconnections. Updating the router and doing a full reset hasn't helped. If I were to roll back to an older FW, what did you mean by "but this is the f/w just before how the password is stored...

For quite a while now, I've been struggling to correct an issue with my RT-AC88U, which seems to be getting worse. Any help is very much appreciated. Router: Asus RT-AC88U Firmware: 386.2_6 current 384.17_0 previous Modem: Motorola MB8600 Adapter: ASUS PCE AC88 Devices: Windows 10, Desktop PC...

Thanks! I had no idea. I torrent often, should I just disable aI? Stopping malicious sites is nice I guess but there are already many layers against that threat.

I recently updated to this version of firmware as well. Oddly enough, the last two firmwares have been working well for me. Ever since they lowered the power output, my 5ghz signal has been just... ok but sufficient for my small apartment. So far the update seems to be working ok. With the...

I'm still using my 88u as well, performance continues to be adequate with respect to range and 5g performance, but definitely not worth the upgrade from the 68u in my case. Anyways, any reports on firmware 3.0.0.4.382.15850 on the 88u? I'm using the original revision from 2015, did the later...

Thx, yeah I figured the FCC was behind it :(

Anyone with an 88u have any reports on the latest firmware performance? Merlin: Any plans to allow increasing TX power on your 88u firmware? (the old setting ASUS gave us prior to an update around a year ago or so)

Well I am going by what I've read on this board and some other web info. I haven't been able to actually speak with anyone who's been able to verify that.

I'm actually not. The revision in question affects some of the features I listed, and your post I was commenting on was in response to a discussion about the revision that would allow mu-mimo to function properly. Mainly being that if a revision is correcting an issue as significant as many of...

I'm a bit confused at your response; I never stated that this sort of 'revision' doesn't occur on occasion or that it has never occurred in the past. I was referencing Hggomes' reply to Sm00thPapa's post espousing his belief that this practice is basically 'ripping' off the customer. Hggmoses...

Seriously? How is it ethical to release a router that lacks the necessary hardware (or whatever it may be) to perform as advertised? Especially one that was a major selling point of the router? Then to provide a fix to the router allowing it to perform as advertised without the means to...

I purchased the 88u when it first came out, so I'd imagine I have the old chipset. Is this something Asus will correct for us? Any suggestions on getting an updated version? Knowing ASUS they will tell me to send in my 88u and maybe three weeks later I'll receive a 'repaired' model.

Gotcha, thanks for the clarification. It really is a shame that marketed selling points, eye-popping graphics and all, turn out to be-- as you said-- a gimmick. It's a great router, and I guess I'm happy with the adapter... but not gaining any throughput advantage by going with a 4 antennae...

Thanks for the suggestions. Even when placing the adapter right next to the router, I'm still only getting 1.7Gbps-- which under normal circumstances would be great but I had hoped to fully utilize the technology of both adapter and router. Anytime I move the adapter a 'room's length' away I...

I may eventually use the other benefits provided by your firmware, so I'll give it a good look. Any other settings in 'professional' or 'wireless' tabs that could affect my throughputs?
