    [RT-N66U] Cloudcheck on FW 3.0.0.4.378.9313

    I copied the screenshot from iOS app store. What I saw from mine is similar to this screenshot. The app doesn't say what it is changing, but it sometimes say that I have an interference problem, or my station A is using a slower band, and switch to 5GHz. For example, my laptop often sticks to...

    [RT-N66U] Cloudcheck on FW 3.0.0.4.378.9313

    Yes, I used two generic monitoring tools (WiFi sweetspots and Speed Test) for other routers like my Comcast router to measure wifi and broadband speed, and used Smartifi feature for ASUS router.

    RT-AC88U

    I currently have N66U, but I want to add one more router. It seems that I can also get 88U based on the posts, but I am not sure whether I should get 88U, or probably 87U. Any quick suggestions?

    [RT-N66U] Cloudcheck on FW 3.0.0.4.378.9313

    I have been using the Cloudcheck APP for a while because it was available even before this firmware release. You can see my previous post that I added when I purchased the router. http://www.snbforums.com/threads/mobile-app-for-asus-routers.21626/ I don't know their plan, but it seems that...

    Mobile app for ASUS routers

    Thanks for the advice :) My router admin page is only accessible from the local area wireless/wired network, and no one can connect unless they connect to my router with wifi password. That's why I didn't try to change the password. You are right that it is still safer and recommended to change...

    Mobile app for ASUS routers

    I have never changed my default login/password of my router, so I felt safe to give the default admin password. I also read the "about" page of the app, and it seems that the company is well-known in the broadband industry. I actually knew the founder of this company through academic papers...

    Mobile app for ASUS routers

    I also compared the number from the app with the number from Iperf, and the number from the app matches well. However, I only tested a lower wifi speed, so that might be the reason (below 100Mbps). I will also try more if I get a device with higher wifi speeds. As you mentioned, it still serves...

    Mobile app for ASUS routers

    Here is my impression after using the app after two weeks. I also attached some screenshots after removing personal info :) - It gives a list of stations along with current throughput and last week's throughput. This helps me understand when there is a problem with some stations in my house...

    Strange Wi-Fi Speeds - Should I Replace My Router?

    I think 15Mbps wifi speed is way too low for 11N router. You may want to try the app discussed in the following thread, and see if your wifi is a problem or broadband is a problem because I have seen that my cable internet speed fluctuates a lot. If you confirm that wifi is a bottleneck, you may...

    Mobile app for ASUS routers

    I couldn't get the details from the developers, but they mentioned that wifi sweet spots measures wifi speed between the mobile device and router without using any capability of wifi routers. New v2.0 app for ASUS routers can measure wifi speed between the router and all the wifi stations...

    Mobile app for ASUS routers

    I initially downloaded the sweetspot app after reading this article, and downloaded cloudcheck app that includes the sweetspot function. http://www.redmondpie.com/how-to-speed-test-your-local-wifi-router-performance-from-a-phone/ This app works for every router, and it breaks down the...

    Mobile app for ASUS routers

    I am a newbie in this forum as I purchased a new router recently :) I have been using this Cloudcheck app to measure wifi and broadband speed in my house (I have ASUS RT-N66U and Comcast WiFi). Yesterday, this app was updated to a new version, and I saw a new optimization service added to the...
