    Help catching up on the latest advice for WiFi in a new home

    There has been a lot of interior renovation and updating in the house already. Looks like mostly drywall now. I am not sure that the coax or power lines are quite new enough. Any suggestions on WiFi Routers / AP Extenders to test out before giving in to having to figure out a hard wired...

    Help catching up on the latest advice for WiFi in a new home

    We are moving into a new home in a few weeks and it has been a long while since I have had to think about upgrading my WiFi set up and appreciate any guidance for someone who is not really caught up on the latest. My current set up is a Netgear R7000 (purchased way back when it was first...

    RT-N66U latency issue on 2.4GHz

    Thanks for the advice Tim. I went ahead and picked up a WNDR3800 and so far it is working great. I am not sure why I spent so much time fussing with the RT-N66U. With all the praise it has been getting, I could not understand why I was having such a unique problem. I guess I just wanted to...

    Xbox360 wireless connection problem

    Savaski - Were other devices connecting to the RT-N66U over 2.4GHz well and your problem was just the xbox360? Our xbox is the slim model also, but I am having similar issues with any device (laptop, iPad, etc.) connecting to the 2.4GHz wifi. See my details here

    RT-N66U latency issue on 2.4GHz

    Tim, I only began testing after observing issues during typical every day usage with the most obvious problem being my son's inability to play games on an xbox360 to noticeable lag web browsing across multiple devices (laptops, a desktop w/ PCI wifi adapter, iPad, etc.) connected via wifi yet...

    RT-N66U latency issue on 2.4GHz

    I always use WPA2/AES, but I even tried also setting it to be completely open and still had the same very high jitter and packet loss. I have not turned on the any of the guest networks and I have restored the factory defaults multiple times. No difference. In fact nothing I have tried...

    RT-N66U latency issue on 2.4GHz

    I agree. I am quite puzzled by what is causing my problems so consistently across three different units when so many other people are having such great luck with this router. You could say I have gotten a bit stubborn about wanting to solve this. I actually run two wifi routers in the house...

    RT-N66U latency issue on 2.4GHz

    Thanks for taking the time to respond and provide some suggestions. I have been concerned that it is some other factor in my house since I have had the same problem three different N66U's, but the strange thing is that it has never affected any of my previous wifi routers. Tried all that (see...

    RT-N66U latency issue on 2.4GHz

    I am having significant latency problems on 2.4GHz connections (very high jitter and some packet loss). My son can't stay connected to any of the games on the Xbox Live, VoIP applications are poor and even just browsing the web lags some. I have tested 3 units now so I am thinking that I must...
