    Buffer Bloat scores, +

    Yup. To make it even simpler, the ac86 will react twice as fast as the ac5300 on uplink. For home work you could figure out what QOS/buffer bloat each unit is using. The older the unit, the simpler the QOS algorithm. The simpler the algorithm, the more bandwidth you lose in order to keep...

    [Official Beta] AiMesh beta firmware for RT-AC68U/RT-AC86U/RT-AC5300/RT-AC88U

    A bit off topic but why not. Openwrt is about dead. It got so bad that last year they forked it, and all the devs moved over to lede project. Lede has a very nice qos called CAKE. It is currently the best/newest out there and is even better than sqm. It completely eliminates buffer bloat(on...

    [Official Beta] AiMesh beta firmware for RT-AC68U/RT-AC86U/RT-AC5300/RT-AC88U

    The 3 slaves wan ports need to be plugged into the same switch that has a connection to both a lan port of the master AP, and a lan port of the master router. The wan port of the master AP is not used (well i dont use it, im not sure it it becomes another lan port in AP mode). You do not have...

    [Official Beta] AiMesh beta firmware for RT-AC68U/RT-AC86U/RT-AC5300/RT-AC88U

    You can do what i did, run the AI mesh in AP mode. So have your main router be what ever (merlin, pf sense etc) and have 1 RT-AX68U be the master AI mesh node AP, and it will handle wifi for it and all the nodes. You have to setup one AP as a router first, setup the wifi etc, then put it into...

    [Official Beta] AiMesh beta firmware for RT-AC68U/RT-AC86U/RT-AC5300/RT-AC88U

    A beta firmware posted in an unofficial asus forum, hosted on a non asus server, from a guy asking for beta testers and feed back, has not been updated for a month... Better question would be why you would run beta software on a flag ship. Beta is for non critical crap that you do not rely on...

    LOL seller just lost like $40 in to/from shipping because they didnt remove all the antennas. If i was the seller i would be pissed if i had to eat $40 out of a $120 item(plus close to 10 bucks in paypal/ebay fees). This is why i dont sell stuff on ebay anymore.

    AC68U Version?

    "merlin" will work work with any rev, "fork" will not work with the new rev units with the XXX9 cpu And you have an A1 or A2 with the 4708 cpu, so you can use either version.

    Asuswrt-Merlin 374.40 is out

    I decides to flip to 5ghz. I can now get 720p youtube to work in the garage just fine now. With the original sdk6 drivers I could barely stream radio on 2.4ghz.

    QOS-prioritize download bandwidth

    I have one server that maxes out the download bandwidth when it starts. When this happens the voip box cuts out and phone calls are impossible. Like alot of people my bandwidth is variable during prime time. I want the server to have the lowest priority all the time, and the voip box to have...

    Asuswrt-Merlin 374.40 is out

    SO this version has SDK6 in EM mode to fix the wifi range problem. Can someone confirm it is remotely close to .276? Im having trouble with the latest shibby reseting so id like to go back to merlin (parents router, hunt and peck typers). .720+ was just horrible for the bluray players and...
