    GT-AC5300 Band steering which setup is best

    Update.......... I made some further tweaks to the Wireless settings: Changed Beacon interval back to default (100) rather than 1000 Changed Multicast rate back to Auto (rather than OFDM 6) Am now seeing far more devices connecting to the 5Ghz bands. Not sure which of the above changes made...

    GT-AC5300 Band steering which setup is best

    Hi again So I made all the settings to match yours but seem to be having mixed results. Of the 21 wifi devices currently connected, only 3 are connected to the 5Ghz-2 network, and none at all on the 5Ghz-1. Of those connected to the 2.4 band, this includes iPhones and iPads - even when...

    Thank you. Will try tomorrow and post back results! Fingers crossed!! All my other wireless settings I made as per the posting you had previously recommended. Assume nothing else there that would impact the band selection.

    GT-AC5300 Band steering which setup is best

    Thank you! I will try those settings tomorrow and post back results. I did try something similar before but without much success. How long do you suggesting leaving for to see if works? And is it best to restart router after changing? Interestingly if I look now (using my settings) there is...

    Hoping someone can help me with this...... I am not the most technical person but have been doing lots of reading on here and thank everyone for their very helpful content. I am trying to achieve steering whereby the 2 5GHz bands are used by the majority of devices, leaving the 2.4 band for...

    AiMesh for Tri-band routers: RT-AC5300, GT-AC5300

    Updated this morning, and all seems great. Actually - all seems to be even better than before - as I'm now getting far superior wifi connection speeds (testing with speedtest.net). Did something change in this recent update to fix that? I didn't do a hard reset of router, but as everything...

    AiMesh for Tri-band routers: RT-AC5300, GT-AC5300

    Not updated yet as my setup is currently running very well. For when I do update, where can I download the prior firmware file from (in case forced to downgrade)? I'd like to be prepared!..... and are there any instructions for downgrading?

    [Official Release] AiMesh Firmware v3.0.0.4.384.10007 for All Supported Products

    Hi. I posted this yesterday in the other thread which has now been closed, so posting here also in case anyone is able to help answer. I've just received my RT-AC5300. I will see how I go with performance/coverage, but suspect I will benefit from using Aimesh with another router. A few...

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

    (Sorry - somehow managed to delete my earlier post - so re-posting here) Hi I've just ordered an RT-AC5300 which should be with me tomorrow. I will see how I go with performance/coverage, but suspect I will benefit from using Aimesh with another router. A few questions.... Any idea when the...
