    Moving files on AC68 on USB drive.

    I have a portable drive connected to my AC68 router via USB 3.0. When I move a file from one folder to another folder, it first copies it to my computer and at the same time back to a new folder on the drive. If you look at the attachment, it shows the data being transferred from the router to...

    Best speed I could achieve in AC68U router on 5Ghz band is 430Mbps. Go to AiMesh settings, System Settings and enable Ethernet Backhaul Mode. This will give you an additional 50-100Mbps over wifi on 5Ghz band. At the end of the day, you'll have to test on 10 different servers to see which...

    Have I maxed out my Asus ac68u WiFi router?

    What I can’t figure out, as to why I’m not getting 500Mbps speed on WiFi. After extensive testing, moving large files on my home network, uploading and downloading, I was constantly getting an average of 560Mbps over WiFi. I understand that my Asus cable modem is outdated, but I’m getting...

    Almost everything is disabled on the router, I’m not running any scripts, no QoS, no TrendMicro. CTF+FA is enabled. Via lan cable, I’m maxing out at 520Mbps, but that's because Im limited by the Cable modem. Currently using Asus CM-16 modem. P.S. CPU is usage during wifi speed tests, Core 1 -...

    Quick update. I might have resolved my issues on both bands, specifically around 5:28pm. I know it’s very specific, but that’s when I was having major issues with WiFi and internet. I know, I’m still scratching my head. 1. After additional testing, my dumb butt realized, I dirty flashed the...
