I'm not quite sure what is going on (maybe a shift in the earths gravitational field etc), but the latest, latest Asus stock (3.0.0.4.374.130) seems to have done something wonderful to the wifi drivers for me (Using my RT-AC66U)
Looks like I am getting the best performance and range on both the 2.4Ghz and 5Ghz radios - but I can't see anything in the release notes that would imply this. I know this is highly environmental, but I live pretty remote so I can discount most external interference and any recent changes.
Am pretty religious about resetting NVRAM every time I do a firmware change (which I do frequently, as I compile the bleeding-edge Merlin build from source) but I'll be very interested to see what it looks like when Merlin gets the latest source incorperated.
Don't get me wrong - Merlin is still my preferred version, but right now if you are one of the few people who are considering throwing your RT-AC66U out of the window, I'd recommend 374.130 before you do.
