    Personal AC87 saga

    I have no idea about your issue, but wanted to comment about Asus and BestBuy.. I needed to RMA my old RT-AC66 because a USB port quit. I called Asus and they saw I bought it at BestBuy. They, at least about a year ago, informed me that if you got it at BestBuy you could walk right in at...

    DSLReports Speed Test Now Measuring Buffer Bloat

    My experience.. On a rtac68 the default and max on mine was 122880. Determined by using cat command with your 2 lines from the code. Using your code and dividing the 122880 by 2 I set it to 61440. Now I'm A+ for buffer bloat using my (wired) ps4 browser (shocked). Using Merlins fork with my...

    ASUS RT-AC66U Or NETGEAR R7000 Nighthawk AC1900

    I won;t speak as to the RT-66U as I have no experience with it. As far as the RT-AC66R was concerned: I live in a 2 story 1200 sq. ft. townhouse and never had any issues with the signal. As it seems the case with all wireless, 2.4Ghz penetrates better and goes further, 5G is less crowded and...

    netgear or Asus

    Run Forrest Run (from Netgear) I have previously owned an Asus RT-AC66R that I purchased at Best Buy. Fast forward 9 months I was on the phone with Asus because one of the USB ports had failed. Asus support was extremely competent and RMA'd the unit in less than 15 minutes (including hold...

    Asuswrt-Merlin 3.0.0.4.374.37 is out

    Yes and yes.. Actiontec wireless is off acting only as MoCA bridge for STB's. I just used a previous .cfg file I had saved (yes I have read the warnings about introducing old gremlins) before checking back here seeing your post and all is good now on 2.4x20 2.4x40 and 5G settings. Thanks again...

    Asuswrt-Merlin 3.0.0.4.374.37 is out

    Ok... After throwing every possible setting at this you are definitely right. Even though I only get a 144Mbps link speed (vs 300 on 40 MHZ (counter intuitive-sort of)), 20 MHZ channel 11 seems to be the sweet spot with 8.34 D/l and 17.55 U/l. 40 MHZ channel 11 yields only 5.* D/l and 18.*...

    Yes, I am also seeing the dips in several of my neighbors also. I would normally agree with you about playing nice as well, however, I only have one neighbor with internet. The complex I live in provides FiOS TV in the rent. FiOS requires routers to provide connectivity for their boxes to...
