I'm having similar problems. I got the RT-AX86U and also switched to Verizon Fiber service 300/300. When I run speedtest from a computer connected directly to the Verizon box, I get 310 download, 340 upload. When I connect the Asus router, I get full speed download, but only 200 to 220 upload...

Thanks for your help! Based on your findings, I think I will give the Asus a try. If the range is not improved, I may run a network cable to the back of the house and configure the R7800 as AP.

Thank you for your response! Did you actually measure the speed in the far bedroom? Did it actually improve? I have two concerns about buying: 1. Since I already have 7 AX clients, would they benefit from AX router? I looked again at the charts on SNB for both routers, and it's clear that the...

In the last couple of months, the number of AX clients I have grew from 2 to 7. In addition to these, I have several clients that use AC and a few that only support N 2.4Ghz (printers, security cameras). I have R7800 running OpenWRT. The house is about 1300sf on one floor. Router is located in...

I had the RT-AC66 (Not 68) and R7000 at home. Both provide the same max theoretical connection speed at 5Ghz. I thought the results would be similar, but I was very surprised. The R7000 provided stronger signal and longer range both inside and outside the house, with Wireless N and AC clients. I...

R7000 Firmware Version 1.0.3.80 Does anyone know if this problem was solved with firmware 1.0.3.80? The release note says that NTFS driver was upgraded. Is NTFS performance improved? I am debating buying this router specifically for using it with external USB drive. Thanks for any input.

Your system connects at AC speeds, so that's a good sign. I don't know what the problem is with your setup, but I don't think it's Windows 7. I have Asus RT-AC66 router, WD MyCloud NAS, and a laptop with Intel AC7260 running Windows 7. The laptop is two floors above the router. Windows...

What is the connection speed that Windows 7 reports in the Network and Sharing Center? Is it higher than 300Mbps?

I just installed your firmware instead. Did factory reset and it works very well. Thanks so much! A donation is on the way.

It's already down to $130 on amazon.com. I wonder if it works better with Broadcom clients than the original C7. Nice design for the C8, BTW.

Still not connecting at AC speed I tried this version, and unfortunately, like the previous version 376.1123, my laptop does not connect at a speed higher than 300 Mpbs. When I use firmware 374.5517 I can connect at 867Mbps, which is the maximum speed with Intel AC7260 client. Does anyone else...

Last response I got from Asus is that the "..information has been documented and forwarded to the appropriate contacts for further review and improvement." From my experience, and it is limited, only Asus and Apple provide long term firmware updates. I hope Asus fix this problem soon.

Thanks for all the responses. I should have mentioned that at 5Ghz range, bandwidth is set to 80Mhz. I reported this problem to Asus and got a response from them to set the bandwidth to 40Mhz. I did that, and now my client connects at 300Mbps. This is not an acceptable solution. I did not...

I am using Asus RT-AC66U router with Intel AC7260 laptop client (Intel driver version 17.0.5). At 5Ghz range I usually get connection speed of 650Mbps a couple of floors away from the router. I updated the router firmware from 3.0.0.4.374.5517 to 3.0.0.4.376.1123. The connection speed maxes out...

Thanks for the info. Does version 2 work better with Broadcom clients? that was the biggest problem with version 1.
