    [Fork] Asuswrt-Merlin 374.43 LTS releases (Archive)

    My router won't transmit on channel 149 because it detects something sending on that channel. I have a wireless device that unintentionally has energy in the 5GHz band. When I turn the device on the router turns off the Channel 149 transmission. This noise could be a Radar, so the router...

    My router would not operate on channel 149 as delivered from Amazon or with any other firmware/settings. The '#a' change was a recent attempt at a fix. '#a' did get the router to send at AC rates on channel 48. I'll try 802.11d+h and the 802.11h settings. Thanks for trying channel 149...

    [Fork] Asuswrt-Merlin 374.43 LTS releases (Archive)

    RT-AC68U Thank You John! My goal is to have my 68U operate on 2 channels at 5GHz AC. After changing to #a country code I can operate at 867MBPs on channel 48-42. But it won't operate on channel 149 at any speed, the only other legal US AC channel. I first bought a R7000 Netgear and had...

    Asus RT-AC66U issues connecting to 5 ghz band

    Ways to test upper channels. Reduce received signal levels. Take router, smart phone into: Best is RF shielded chamber, possibly refrigerated (metal) room. Or. Into basement. Or. Remove antennas. Or. put in small straight pin antennas. Or. Put bucket, grounded, over antennas. If the router...

    Asus AC68U How many AC-80MHz channels

    Your network computing link has the same capabilities as I wrote. There are 2 sets of channels to send at 80MHz. 36-48 and 149-161 and no DFS or other restraints. The Netgear R7000 and the AC68U both will not send 80 MHz on 149-161. I read that some other countries do function so I changed my...

    Asus AC68U How many AC-80MHz channels

    Yes. With a Netgear R7000 AC1900 If you setup to send AC on the lower group of channels 36 to 48 you get a pop-up note saying better performance will happen on the higher 149 to 165 group. In the US (at least) the AC router will not function on the upper group. The same as AC68U. Check the...

    Asus AC68U How many AC-80MHz channels

    I can operate at AC speeds up to 867Mbps on channel 36, to 48. Higher channels such as 149 to 161 can be made to function at lower bandwidths and lower (1/2) Mbps, 802.11n. Channels 149 to 165 AC are allowed in US I don't understand why the manufacturers disable them. I found the Netgear R7000...
