    RT-N66R speed drops

    so far so good Just an update. Have not had any issues since updating and channel switch. Gained about 20% on upload speeds. Less stability issues. More consistent connections and speed. Time will tell but hopeful at this point. Thanks for all the help guys. David

    RT-N66R speed drops

    It was only the wireless that was seeing the drop. Router gets warm but what I would expect for a passive cooling system. I went ahead and updated firmware to the latest from the ASUS website. Especially after doing a quick search and seeing the security issues. Reset to factory settings...

    RT-N66R speed drops

    Scanning the forums looking for suggestions. Have owned for several months and things have been working flawlessly until a couple of weeks ago. Every couple of days my throughput speeds drop by about 70%. A reboot brings speeds back up to normal. I am currently using Firmware...

    Rt-n66u, rt-ac56u, rt-ac66u, rt-ac68u

    update on purchase Okay, I initially purchased the AC68R but then chickened out and returned it and purchased the N66R. So far so good. Setup went well. Using firmware version 979. I also purchased a Synology DS412+ and have initially loaded with two 4TB drives. All are playing well with...

    Thanks for the info. Got the print service working. Downloaded to usb flash drive then took to each of the computers and downloaded on them. Thanks. Checked the administration setting. No computers in the list. Tried adding all the computers into the list. Still cannot access GUI from other...

    Canuckle- "S" stands for "scientific". I spent 17 years of my life in research for multiple clients including NASA and various government agencies. It is used to differentiate from a true wild a__ guess. One in which was based off of as much information one could gather in the specified time...

    Rt-n66u, rt-ac56u, rt-ac66u, rt-ac68u

    Thank you for the replies. With my background in R&D, I normally can see a fairly clear best chance item to purchase. Just doesn't seem that way with the current market of routers right now. All seem to have about the same percent of issues, just different ones. I may just have to take a SWAG...

    Rt-n66u, rt-ac56u, rt-ac66u, rt-ac68u

    Which is more stable? I have an old WRT54GS that i want to replace. Have been an ASUS fan for a long time and have followed and respected this board for many years I am very concerned about purchasing any of these due to the stability issues that appear to be present. I currently have wired...

    RT-AC68U or R7000 to go with PCE-AC68

    Looking also I have been trying to decide what direction to go myself. The newer routers just don't appear stable/mature enough for my liking. I have always been an ASUS fan but like you, I don't want to spend my time getting and keeping a router working. My interests are elsewhere at this...
