    Asuswrt-Merlin 376.44 Beta 1 is out

    Have AC66U using .44 beta 1 and 2.4 GHz signal is possibly a little stronger. From my favorite location on the other side of the house with a laptop and inSSIDer 2.1 I am seeing a constant -50 dbm signal compared to 50 - 55 dbm with ver .43 Streamed a couple HDX movies last night with Roku...

    I like how you can raise the bar with your pointer then it slowly falls back down. Very creative and funny, Thanks

    FW_RT_N66U_B1_3003144 Released!

    I have 9 devices connected. When I do a refresh of Client Status the main circle Icon spins for about a minute and only 3 clients are displayed. Then it takes up to 3-4 minutes for the other 6 to display. No more spinning circles for each device. One nice thing - I now have the device name...

    Heat issues with the 66U

    Also using .116 and it is showing approximately 54C. First time it took about 8 seconds for the reading to show on the graph. I also had to log in to get it to work.

    Asus RT-N66u wireless speed problem

    When you run a test from speedtest.net, speakeasy.net or similar in your region what are you seeing (DL and UL speeds) on the distant wireless and close CAT5 PC's? Can you borrow a friends laptop that has the ability to download at the required speed? Preferably test it at another location...

    Heat issues with the 66U

    If I'm reading this page correctly I'm seeing 130 F or 55 C as a fairly constant temperature reading. You need to let it "run" for a couple of minutes. How does that compare with everyone else?

    Frustrated w/ 5ghz NT-66U

    I had a similar issue with a laptop and once I brought it into the same room with the router the throughput and performance dramatically improved. In my example the maximum wireless distance for 5 GHz using 40 MHz was about 15-20 feet through one wall. Due to a shorter wave-length a 5 GHz...

    .116 DL and throughput now working fine I was the one having erratic download and throughput speeds with .116 Reloaded 116 for the 3rd time and for the last 2 days download and throughput speeds have been as good as .108, .112 and .114. What I learned: Flashing the firmware more than once...
