I still cannot get rid of them, e.g. my printer.

Does SSH connections drop for such a "one second"? Which would you recommend in the AC range?

Wow! Many thanks for pointing towards this article - very informative! I have already tried 802.11k and can confirm that these iOS devices don't roam well (i.e. temporary loss of traffic while roaming). Any device staying in the red zone below (even if not being moved around) would actively...

Exactly my point! Do I get a temporary loss of traffic (even for 2 seconds) whenever my device switches between two signal sources, if I use a mesh system with dedicated wireless communication as backbone?

Typical use case of the home Wi-Fi: a) Speed (bandwidth) is not important, as long as something above 40 Mbps (or 5 MB/s) can be maintained; b) Online gaming: consistently low latency is very important, and intermittent droppings of packages cannot be tolerated; c) Video calls: it is not...

So you'd call it "a small difference" between the RT-AC88U and the Netgear R7800 at 45dB (as thiggins just clarified to be trusty)? ASUS RT-AC88U: 48MBps Netgear R7800: 28MBps That looks like one is 71% faster than the other, and it's not really a slight difference for me. It could well be a...

Then they should all have the identical curve for the 2.4GHz Downlink throughput vs Attenuation plots.

If this is true, then what a prominent difference among routers when we estimate past 45dB!

I wouldn't call the EA9500 faulty as it's better than the EA6700. Not necessarily 1/3 more signal, but enough to make a difference between the 1/3 and the 2/3 threshold. The most prominent difference is not regarding signal bars, but about being able to continue to transmit data without...

Looking into the plot, the TP-Link 3150 actually disconnected at 63dB, while the Synology RT2600ac maintained highest bandwidth (probably due to leakage in tests). If it weren't for the leakage, I would call it a significant difference. As for my own real-world scenario, I had dead spots in my...

So you mean basically the tests and rankings at SNB are useless then (apart from the leakage)?

I previously had Linksys EA6700 and Linksys EA9500. For 2.4GHz coverage in my own house: RT2600AC > EA9500 > EA6700. Actually this RT2600AC is a significant improvement for me.

Though I knew there were leakages for the 2.4GHz attenuation tests to help this router score top one for 2.4GHz range, I bought it anyway just because I like the Synology OS after I'd been using there NAS for a long time. The result is, WOW! This router actually eliminats the dead spots and...

Yes, as of SRM 1.1.4-6509, you can go to "Control Panel" -> "Device" -> "System Information" -> "Basic Information". The uptime is displayed down there.
