Having issue with wireless performance. Works fine, everything updated, latest Merlin firmware. But sometimes wireless performance just tanks, should be normally getting 480Mbps when close to router, as this is my internet speed, but it drops to below 10Mbps with extremely high jitter. Restarting fixes the issue.
 
Post screenshots of your Wi-Fi settings. Otherwise no one knows what the issue might be.
 
DUH should've done this already, so here.

I would set it this way:

Fixed channels
Best throughput channel for 2.4GHz @20MHz
36-48 or 149-161 for 5GHz @80MHz

On 2.4GHz disable:
Bluetooth Coexistence
TX Bursting
WMM No-Acknowledgement
Airtime Fairness
Multi-User MIMO
Explicit Beamforming
Universal beamforming

On 5GHz disable:
TX Bursting
WMM No-Acknowledgement
Airtime Fairness
Multi-User MIMO
Universal beamforming

Default RTS Threshold value is 2347

Try and see if it helps. If not, reset the router to factory defaults, set it up manually, don't change settings you don't know what they do.
