    Buying advice for router

    @Tomovich, I would say that unless you have lead or iron water pipes any of the AC routers on the router rank would serve you well. I had an Asus AC87 U and it was good back in the days when I was living in a 1400 square foot home and I had a basement. Just give it a try. If it doesn't work just...

    Buying advice for router

    @Tomovich, For your router question you should try to specify how big your house is since that can change the recommendation of which router you should use. As for the Pi-Hole question. If you just want to use it as a way to block Ads, you really don't need it to take on the role of a DHCP...

    USB-AC68 Slow download after W10 Creators update solution

    Hi Timex 18, Thank you for this! I have an USB-AC56R as well and this tid-bit helped! I managed to get the speed back to my 100 Mbps that I should be getting from before the upgrade to Windows 10 Creator Edition. Just a note for those squirmish on using this file download (since it's not an...

    RT-AC87U - Frustrations...

    After my initial OMG why is my 5.0 GHz network was going up and down like a dead yo-yo (it was up and then went down and stayed down until I resetted), my router has been solid for 2 months and going. Because all the settings are in "auto" I believe it takes its time for the router to tune out...

    RT-AC87U - Frustrations...

    Hi Sean, Some of my ping times reached upwards of 1000 ms (so 1 second) on the 2.4 GHz and on the 5 GHz it was about the same thing. I got lots of exercise doing both frequencies ;). But meh I needed to burn some of that fat of mine :). One thing though is that I did this test with a Mac Book...

    RT-AC87U - Frustrations...

    Hi Sean, The processor looks about right. So I did a quick test on my router and went from the second floor (where the router is) all the way to the basement and I get some of the ping test values. The thing I did notice is that the delay only takes place when I went from one floor and moved...

    RT-AC87U - Frustrations...

    Back from the salt mine and home sweet playing with COD Advanced Warfare home. I just finished reading your latest post. So just want to make sure I didn't miss a thing (it happens when you logged 11 hours of work). So right now your 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz networks are now stable in the sense you...

    RT-AC87U - Frustrations...

    Still at work but will have to check my settings. I generally leave most of the stuff set to the default values. One thing for 2.4 GHz you might want to see how congested is that spectrum in your hood. As a rule of thumb I set my channel to 11 in the 2.4 GHz spectrum. So far where I live not...

    RT-AC87U - Frustrations...

    Hi Sean, I have had this problem with my RT-AC87U, I see that on your configuration that your pre-shared key has non alpha numeric value. Try simplifying your pre-share key and SSID so that you avoid things like the !@$#%^&*()-<space> characters. This will make things more stable and usable...

    ASUS RT AC87 5ghz being disabled after enabling QoS and Jumbo Frame Switching

    Hello, I figured this out. It appears that my near paranoia like sense of security made the 5GHz crash. I found out if your SSID or your shared Pass-Key has the following characters: "<>'& it will somehow kill that Wireless network. I think in the firmware these characters are not being...

    ASUS RT AC87 5ghz being disabled after enabling QoS and Jumbo Frame Switching

    Hi, I just got this beast of a router that I want to love but there are just somethings that drives me batty. One such thing is that even with the latest Firmware from RMERLIN and ASUS my 5 GHz channel is being disabled whenever I enable either QoS or jumbo frame. I have tried the ole reboot...
