    Recommendation for Merlin compatible where WiFi is not needed

    I think you're trying to help but sometimes wording doesn't always convey tone over a text thread. For the XBox comment and the 4 years it's a known issue and has been discussed many, many times. Just because you think it should be simple, does not mean that it is simple nor easy to solve. It's...

    Recommendation for Merlin compatible where WiFi is not needed

    Thanks, but as I mentioned above, the Ubiquiti routers , whether it be Edge or Dream, will not play nicely with multiple video games systems in the household to let kids connect and play together. Spent 4 years and so many hours trying to get it to work and it just doesn't work. I like Merlin...

    Recommendation for Merlin compatible where WiFi is not needed

    To each their own, I guess. It's not really a big issue to support my parents and the difference in price between a Dream Machine and a cheaper Merlin compatible router is not insignificant.

    Recommendation for Merlin compatible where WiFi is not needed

    Not very smart or not an efficient use of money? I've been down this road before. Unfortunately, anything but a consumer router seems to have issues with the kids video games when they try to play together for some reason. Spent about 4 years trying to get it to work properly and just putting...

    Recommendation for Merlin compatible where WiFi is not needed

    Thanks for the reply. I appreciate it. I'll look into the price of these and see what she wants to do. Depending on the price she might opt for the cheaper one. I'm sure she wouldn't notice the difference between the 986Mbps down and the 1100 Mbps down but I'll see. You think the AX86U will...

    Recommendation for Merlin compatible where WiFi is not needed

    Hopefully this hasn't been asked lately as I searched but didn't see anything. I'm replacing an older router at my mom's house. She currently has an RT-AC66U that has been acting a bit funky lately. She is upgrading to Gigabit internet, has a couple of Unifi access points so this is really...

    AC66U - Merlin 376.45 Firmware - Slow on 2.4ghz

    This seems to work better. Thanks.. I'll monitor it throughout the day. Josh EDIT : Arggh.. Right after I tried it again and I'm getting speed test issues. Maybe I'll see about dropping back down to .43.

    AC66U - Merlin 376.45 Firmware - Slow on 2.4ghz

    I posted this in the AC forum and then realized it should probably be here. I didn't see the option to move it myself. My wife has been telling me for weeks that her internet was slow. She works on her laptop and only on wireless. I kept testing from my wired computer, DOH! and kept telling...

    Anyone have any ideas on this? Very frustrating. Thanks Josh Just realized that maybe this should be in the Merlin Forum.

    AC66U - Merlin 376.45 Firmware - Slow on 2.4ghz

    My wife has been telling me for weeks that her internet was slow. She works on her laptop and only on wireless. I kept testing from my wired computer, DOH! and kept telling her she was crazy. Regardless, I finally broke down and checked and low and behold on the 2.4 frequency we get about 1.5...
