Hello I've searched both N66U and AC66U threads for a reliable alternative antennas but I cant seem to find any. From my searches people have said stock has always been superior against those found on eBay. Also I cant seem to find high gain dual band antennas from any top commercial companies (asus, cisco, etc..), are they not yet popular? I live in a apartment complex which has a very dense and congested wifi signals around me.
I've used inSSIDer and have found an unused channels which improved stability. Ive also set 2.4ghz to 20mhz, 5ghz to 40mhz. Enhanced interference management seems to help also. But I think i could really get better throughput with better antennas. Im subscribed to FiOS with 75/35 plan, but only get 30 down and 20 up on wifi, on ethernet i get the full 75/35. (I have the n66u with the latest stock firmware 354, I've tried merlins current beta and older firmwares and all have about the same performance, still cant get 75/35 through wifi)
Edit: Im on 2011 macbook pro, only way i seem to get full 75/35 through wifi is if im close to the router and on 5ghz
