    RT-AC88U

    Thanks again. I already did try all 3 options under 'Channel bandwidth' - but have to admit, after reboot and after WiFi was up in the air again, I tried immediately, i.e. I did no wait. The results were less than when it was set to 20/40/80. I just gave it a try again and set it to 80MHz -...

    RT-AC88U

    Thank you very much. Probably I hit router's limitations here and I should be happy with what I've got. The various bandwidths - I tested those, but either 20, 40, or 80, I got lower results for whatever reason. So I left it to its recommended 20/40/80. Laptop is set to maximum power, no energy...

    RT-AC88U

    My ISP increased the Internet speed (fiber) from 500Mbps to 600Mbps. Wired I get a stable 640Mbps now, both up and down (before it was 540 up/down). However, the WiFi speed did not increase at all: it was and still is (at best) 500Mbps down. All (Intel, Windows) drivers/firmware/settings, etc...

    Asus RT-AC88U - roughly what speed may I expect on 5GHz

    Thank you very much indeed for your elaborate reply! (Sorry for the delay in getting back on this) It is good to know that it isn't the router then.That said, it is a bit shamefull of Samsung to limit the the WiFi speed of this fairly sophisticated tablet. There were many cheaper ones around...

    Asus RT-AC88U - roughly what speed may I expect on 5GHz

    Thank you all for the feedback. Truly appreciated, because I was seriously wondering whether I actually bought the right router… Read some in depth magazine tests comparing a lot of routers at various, various frequencies, etc. and saw the AC3200 performing much, much better. There was another...

    Asus RT-AC88U - roughly what speed may I expect on 5GHz

    I measured both wired and wireless. As said, wired: no issue, at least 525Mbps (a little more than the subscription of 500Mbps). Both up and down, steady. Wireless is the issue. I am using just one device. It is all relatively simple. 1 pc, 1 tablet.

    Asus RT-AC88U - roughly what speed may I expect on 5GHz

    Bought a new Asus RT-AC88U. Have a 500Mbps/s (fiber) subscription. Wired I get about 525 up and down. Wireless: Linkspeed is 866Mbps Router is set at 5GHz, using 80MHz and channel 'auto'. Signal is very strong, distance to router is about 1 meter. Using Ookla, mobile test I am getting roughly...

    Asus RT-AC88U vs Asus RT-AC3200 vs The Netgear R8000 Nighthawk X6

    Up front: I am new here. I have a fiber connection here (500Mbps) my Samsung tablet has Wi-Fi 802.11 a/b/g/n/ac 2.4G+5GHz, VHT80 MIMO Right now I already own an older Asus router - that doesn't support ac. Though the Netgear is listed above, frankly speaking, I have some preference for an Asus...
