    Connection problems

    My parents have a Nighthawk AX8 RAX70-100NAS. They claim that the router has a conflict with their Verizon setup. I dont know what that really means so far. Is there some way that I can eliminate the possibility that its defective? Is there a way to run a system check on the router that...

    how can I determine/compare performance?

    i used speedtest and analiti wifi test and here are the results: Ac68U #1 speedtest: 58 Mbps analiti: 61m down, 11m up (modified) TM AC1900/AC68U #2 speedtest: 52.88 Mbps analiti: 94m down, 12m up So it looks like speed is OK on the AC68U #1. So its probably something about the...

    advice on setup

    I do not really want to go through the hassle of upgrading or reflashing the t-mobile AC1900 to try to match up firmware with a new AC68U. I used a Merlin build so I dont even think I can match up firmware unless I reflash the tmobile and the new AC68U with the same. Thats just too much...

    advice on setup

    I got the linksys around the holidays for cheap ($79). It seemed to have a very strong reach (1800 sq fT) and I thought it was a good deal for the price. FYI, not that it should matter but the AC68U is a Tmobile AC1900 that I flashed to an AC68U. would i be better off getting another AC68U?

    AC68U weak range

    so here's the odd thing. When I switched it over to 20hz, channel 1, it became a beast. Was definitely not that strong on the other channels. When I came back to the RT-N66R, channel 1 sucks. Channel 5 and 6 is the best (6 teeters between good and very good). I tried putting the AC68U on...

    advice needed for network setup

    CLOSED My office and family room are on complete opposite sides of the first floor. I have cat5e coming from both the office and family room to a small area in my basement (like a small computer/network closet) that has a computer, xbox and a bunch of other stuff. I think the optimal set up...

    AC68U weak range

    When I first set up the AC68U 2 days ago and changed the 2.4Ghz channel to 1, the router was a huge improvement. 2 Firesticks (1 in a different room, same floor and 1 on the next floor up above) were both showing a "very good" signal with 2.4 Ghz (and streaming was actually confirmed as...
