    5Ghz Stops Broadcasting on Merlin 380.68_2 and above - AC3100

    Just wanted to add that I'm seeing this same issue with my N66U on firmware 380.68_2. I changed channel to 40 and it seemed to last longer, but then in the past few days its dropped all clients a couple of times per day.

    Connecting my old ASUS RT-N66U to a new BT Smart Hub

    quick googling suggests the home hub doesn't have a "modem only" mode. So I don't think you can use your Asus for anything other than an AP. You could buy a new asus router with a modem built in presumably and perhaps replicate your setup that way by completely replacing the home hub.

    RT-N66U - Not capable of 300mpbs

    OK so I have an update with good news! I did a factory reset on the firmware i was using which was the latest of johns LTS (374.43_27E5j9527) and then immediately ran a speedtest without changing anything. No joy, same 230mbps limit. So decided to try the latest merlin fw (380.68_2) and lo...

    RT-N66U - Not capable of 300mpbs

    Yep I was on the 200 Gamer level which was provisioned as 220ish before upgrading to 300. Am aware of the puma issues but don't think thats the issue here as plugged directly into the sh3 I get 370mbps according to speed test.

    RT-N66U - Not capable of 300mpbs

    Well if its any help I didn't need to do that and the router is running fine, apart from of course the issue I'm discussing here which existed with the original merlin firmware too :) As soon as the family can live without the internet for an hour I'll do a factory reset anyway and see if that...

    RT-N66U - Not capable of 300mpbs

    I recently moved from merlins firmware to Johns (well actually today as part of this troubleshooting), so no didn't do a hard reset at that point as the thread said it wasn't needed. I'll try it now and see what happens.

    RT-N66U - Not capable of 300mpbs

    Its a cable modem (virgin media superhub 3 in the UK). I have nothing running on the router at all, not even any external storage plugged in. Wondering if I should try a hard reset and re-configure everything manually...

    RT-N66U - Not capable of 300mpbs

    OK I just tried direct to the modem and speedtest.net shows 370mbps, i.e. full speed. So it seems it is the N66u which is struggling :(

    RT-N66U - Not capable of 300mpbs

    Hi, I have n rt-n66u running firmware "3.0.0.4.374.43_27E5j9527" of Johns. I have recently upgraded my broadband to 300mbps, however it seems the N66U is struggling to provide this speed and tops out at ~230mbps. I've monitored cpu whilst trying a speedtest and can see the cpu average shows...
