    Wireless clients connecting to 2.4GHz, when 5GHz is also available

    Wireless clients connecting to 2.4GHz, when 5GHz is also available

    OE, I'm not quite sure what RSSI means, but I did find the setting for each in the "Smart Connect Rules" section. Currently for 2.4GHz, RSSI is set to "Greater -52dBm" and 5GHz is "Less -82dBm".. What do these mean, and is there something here that should change to have it at least try to...

    So I'm thinking of picking up a pair of RT-AC86U routers to replace a flakey RT-AC87U I have now if it will fix my dead spots. My current router is located at one end of the 1st floor of the house, and my son is constantly complaining of bad wifi on the OTHER end of the house, 2nd floor. I was...

    [Official] RT-AC87U Firmware version 3.0.0.4.378.9177

    I too have this problem with my ASUS AC87U router and my iPad Air 2 and iPhone 6s Plus now on the 5ghz band.

    Parental control not working via wireless

    Yes, my son figured this out the other day on our Xbox. It's hard-wired and I had the internet shut off at that particular time. He ended up just switching to wifi and was back up and running! I added the wifi mac too now! Darn kids. ;)
