Gotcha, thank you for the insight If I do decide to try out the newer firmware I probably won't be testing today. Both the wife and I WFH and have far too much going on today!

Are you saying I should stay put? haha

Thank you, I will give the beta a try later on today! This thing has been rock solid and that's the reason I never upgraded again lol

Got it! This might be a stupid question, but I do experience occasional hiccups when gaming, is there any settings I should be looking at to "optimize" for gaming? Typically my ping is around 23ms and 0% packet loss. Edit: I should note I am still running 386.5_2 after I had issues with later...

That's what I figured, so this is probably as good as it's going to get at this point?

I currently have an RT-AX86S running Merlin and honestly it has been fine for the most part. I see that the AX-88U PRO is on sale on Amazon currently and am considering the upgrade. Here is my use case. 3 story townhouse (built in 06') "Office" is on the main floor (that's where the modem /...

I had eeros before this router and hated them. I shut off universal beamforming only per most of the recommendations. And I haven’t touched much else.

I find it a lot better than the eeros we replaced. This reaches the 3rd floor with no issues.

I was thinking about trying ASUS stock but everything has been working great since the nuclear reset lol very stable and still on “auto” for the channel. Overall pretty satisfied

Thank you for easing my mind after the few days I’ve been in a battle with it!! Should I leave channel on auto for now if it’s working okay?

Just ran a speed test from my iPhone on the 5ghz band. This is on the 2nd floor (main floor /router and modem are on the first floor) 3 story townhouse.

I haven’t changed too much there I think universal beamforming off and maybe preamble short for 2.4. I figured to keep more things off of 5ghz if not needed and also it’s easier to set up iot devices on 2.4 from the phone if they are being picky. Everything has been stable just wasn’t sure if I...

Got it! Nope I am in the USA. Please let me know if these are better for you! Added my speedtest from my PC wired.

Not sure what you mean, the airport utility is literally Apple airport WiFi utility haha! I assume spark NZ is a carrier? Forgive my ignorance. Once I get home I will get screenshots from my pc.
