    Running Speed Test Halts Everything

    Not sure if it does or not, I'll check. However, I do notice when running speedtest, it slows down my PC's internet. I'm so confused why lol. Not sure if the router is being flooded with something and I'm not sure what it is. I did unplug my modem and router. Allowed it to sit unplugged for a...

    Running Speed Test Halts Everything

    Is this normal behavior? Just noticed it now. I was testing my speed while downloading a game on Steam. The moment the speed test begun, my download literally went from 4.5MB/s to 0MB/s. Any ideas? My router is:RT-AC68U

    Increasing 5Ghz Range

    I forgot to mention, I still got the stock antennas for the router. Is it worth upgrading them to improve range if the settings above don't work?

    Increasing 5Ghz Range

    Just got home so I'll have to test these tips out tomorrow. Been away for the weekend. What I'm paying for is 200mbps. However, there are 4 other people in the house :P With many devices hooked up wirelessly

    Increasing 5Ghz Range

    I got the RT-AC68U with stock antennas. Is there a way to increase the 5ghz range? 2.4ghz is not bad but in my house it's a little slow. 5ghz I can get 30mbps easy. 2.4ghz I goes up and down from 18-20mbps.

    RT-AC68U Slow Network Help

    Out of curiosity, does the QoS adaptive actually work? I noticed there is a few choices: gaming, media streaming, web surfing and custom. When I enable it, the game goes from 25% to 49%. Should I not bother with this adaptive QoS and just install what you suggested? Thanks :)

    [Release] Asuswrt-Merlin 384.9 is now available

    So I got the Merlin firmware to install. All went well. Question regarding CPU temps. What should the CPU temp be at while running on these routers? In this new firmware, there is a termpature tab which is awesome! The CPU temp reads 80 degree's celsius. After blowing the air vents, I brought...

    For the love of God! I must be half asleep or something to not catch that lmao. Thanks a ton! Hopefully this firmware will fix my wifi issues I'm having.
