    AC68R Wifi speed & distance reduces over time

    That's the reason I switched to WRT1900AC. I had an ASUS AC66U with exact same issue.

    AC56U vs R6300 v2

    You need an AC1750 router or AC1900 router and AC1900 or AC1750 or AC1600 client. Another AC1600, AC1750 or AC1900 router can be set to client bridge mode to accomplish this. AC1600 router is 3 streams on 5 Ghz and 2 streams on 2.4 so speed is broken into 1300 + 300. I do believe some AC1600...

    ASUS RT-AC87U Dual-band Wireless-AC2400 Gigabit Router Reviewed

    If it's above 300 Mbps, its 100% 802.11ac. I wonder why you couldn't reach constant 866.7 Mbps though. At 99% signal strength, it should've been that case like mine.

    Range: G vs N vs AC?

    The WRT110 probably has lower TX power than 54GL. If you buy the 68U, you'll be surprised by its range ONLY when you are only doing a scan and NOT associated yet. Once you associate your device with the 68U, all that range will be reduced to the smaller range of your client. That's why it's...

    Range: G vs N vs AC?

    Here's a simple comparison: Assumptions: Same TX power, Antenna gain and spatial streams. With that the range is as follows: 2.4 GHz N > 2.4 GHz G > 5 GHz AC > 5 GHz N ASUS RT-AC68U has high TX power and which yields the longest range. One caveat: the client must also have...

    Router Modem 100Mbps Help

    Nope. It won't give you 100 Mbps. You'll probably get 90 wired at most. Get a Gigabit N600 router and you should be good to go.

    r66u and 802.11 ac

    That's exactly what's missing. Buying an AC1200 USB adapter won't help if the router is only N. Achieving 300 Mbps requires 40 MHz bandwidth.

    r66u and 802.11 ac

    An 802.11ac router such as ASUS RT-AC66U

    AC1900 not fast?

    Pretty slow IMO for AC1200 class. Use Intel 7260 and get 60 MB/s speed (500 Mbps).

    Relatively low wireless data rate with Netgear R7000

    Notes: [LIST] inSSIDer claims that the 5GHz access point runs the N standard and uses only 2 channels (shown as 40+44). Keep in mind that I set the mode to "AC-Only" (the status page confirms that). Does anyone know what is going on here? Oh, and I forgot to mention that the 10 feet...

    WRT1900AC vs. RT-AC68U vs. R7000

    Never had a bug that cripples the WiFi stability/connectivity of my WRT1900AC I had it for a month without rebooting then my cable modem needed a reboot which caused the router to reboot as well. It's been 17 days without reboot as of this time. Agree but you pay the rest of money for...

    DHCP question with Router, AP, Client Bridge in one network

    Another way to make sure that there are no IP conflicts is to basically DHCP reserve the MAC of the client bridges and APs.

    Getting a new 105mbps line and need assistance

    Your WiFi router is probably choking. Best bet is to use an 802.11ac router and your daughter will connect to 2.4 Ghz while you're gaming at 5 Ghz. This way, radios don't travel and slow down since you won't share the same WiFi spectrum as your daughters who're streaming.
