    USB Hub

    If I don't suppose using backhaul would change things, allowing me to use the USB ports on the RT AC68 for HDD effectively?

    USB Hub

    Hello I'm using a Bluecave router on an AIMesh with an AC RT68U. I use the USB to tether a mobile device for internet. I was running a HDD on the slave RT68U, but since a rebuild it doesn't work due to permissions. As the bluecave only has a single USB I was wondering if a powered USB 3.0...

    RT AC68U slow Network

    All great info. My surface pro seems to have gone back to 5-6MB/s with or with out bluetooth on. The Asus USB nano is an interesting idea, however the HDD space on my Surface is too small really meaning I use a micro USB stick to increase the space, as it only comes with one USB port, unless...

    RT AC68U slow Network

    The wifi is Marvell Avastar 350N, speed is 65.0Mbs. That's around 8MB/s with 2 way chatter and never perfect signal conditions 5MB/s is about right I guess. Is this set by the wifi card or is it something I can increase? The results of the speed test on the Surface Pro and the 4g...

    RT AC68U slow Network

    OK I get it, and I can help as the 4g dongle is actually a Samsung note 2 LTE phone with speedtest.net app on it so I can do the ISP check to see if the router is slowing everything down. Will check and get back to you. How do I check for the connect link rates you mentioned? The meter thick...

    RT AC68U slow Network

    I don't have a PC with a network port currently, the Surface Pro gen1 doesn't have one unfortunately, I can try it with my android smart TV box tommorrow, though as I said the network chipset is going to be a very cheap one. Is 40mbps all I should expect? I will try to do the wifi bits tonight...

    asus RT-AC66U AND 4G

    Thanks for the reply Merlin, much appreciated. I found this here "All ASUS routers are capped and don't support 4G/LTE speeds above 22.5 Mbits. I am using a ROOter as "frontend" (TP-Link 3420v2) and my ASUS RT-N66U as router for my household. I have a 80Mbits LTE connection, usually...

    RT-AC66U external HDD read/write speed

    I'm guessing I should have bought a 68u rather than the 66u with USB 3. What is the read write speed of the USB3 port with a HDD attached? Thanks for any help Jon
