Thanks everyone for posting. Here are the some I made for my devices. Wireless printer Denon AVR Harmony Hub TP-Link Smart Plug

I was after improving WiFi file transfer to the phone. You are correct, it is not the same thing as WiFi speed.

I used WiFi SweetSpots to compare, it reached comfortably 650Mbits. It is a different kind of test though since the iPhone is not writing 20GB of data transferred through a samba share. I used the Mac built in tools to compare traffic with the Asus web app, and there are slight differences in...

Hopefully we will get an SNB review in the future. I like the minimalistic design.

Thanks, I’ll check the link. Maybe there is something to be done. I’ve seen iPhone test vids easily hitting 500Mbit with WiFi 5 using speedtest.com and gigabit connections. Which is why I was underwhelmed by my 300Mbit result. Though it could just be that they where simply running a...

I run some more tests. The MacBook Air managed large file transfers at around 500Mbit. The iPhone 11 Pro around 300Mbit. I played around with the settings of the router, channels, Mhz etc. made things worse, a factory reset brought things back to normal. Maybe it is just the phone. The...

I will test with a laptop just to check. But I’m mostly after improving the transfers to the phone, if possible, since I do transfer video files to it.

I just installed a new RT-AC2900 with the latest stable Merlin 384.13. The iMac is connected via gigabit ethernet and the iPhone 11 Pro by 5GHz with reported TX/RX Rates 866,7. I tested transferring some files from Mac to phone, and I get on average 28 MB/s (224Mbps). Are there settings to...

I decided to go the cheapest route, to make it easier to upgrade again in a year or two to WiFi 6. I got the Asus RT-AC2900, which seems identical to the AC86U. Appreciated the help!

That is good to hear. I do play online every now and then, but I never had any issues even with the time capsule. I’ll take the improvement nevertheless! :) Thanks for taking the time to write. I’d love to hear about your recommendations about an alternative to 86U with similar or slightly...

Thanks for the input. I might do just that, and don’t complicate things. Get the AC86U (hope the 2.4Ghz won’t fail) when it’s on sale and upgrade again in a couple of years when AX has matured.

Thanks for your reply! I am using an old 4rth gen Apple Time Capsule from 2012, so in principle any router from that list should be an improvement. It has been rock solid until this year when it randomly restarts all by itself a couple times per week. The local transfer speed is not up to 2019...

I’m trying to replace an old router. It’s not going very well for me since I’ve been literally trying the whole year, and I’m thinking with Black Friday coming maybe it’s time to do this. I need speed, range and stability and preferably around $300. I only have a 100Mbit connection (maybe 200mb...

Thank you so much for taking the time to answer all that. Appreciated! Finding the best choice for a router in 2019 is definitely not an easy task.

Could you elaborate a bit on that? The iPhone 11 has WiFi 6 but does not support WiFi 6 at 160MHz. So what MHz must the WiFi router support to be compatible with the iPhone 11? Also is the OFDMA feature relative the above? The AmpliFi Alien supports OFDMA, what would that mean for the iPhone...
