Asus RT AC87U getting better signal on 5ghz

[Chrismallia]

Hi I just got ac87u and updated to last firmware 30043786117 and what is happening is that I am getting a better signal on the 5ghz band then on the 2.4 ghz example I get 70dbm on 2.4 and 60 to 65dbm on 5ghz, on the old firmware both bands had weak signal/ I checked the professional tab and all bands are 100 percent, any help please?

That doesnt make too much sense, 2.4ghz has always stronger signal.

Have you RESET your device?

I know it does not make any sense that is why I am confused
. Yes I pressed the reset button for over 10 seconds but same problem

Make sure that you're on channel 6 on 2.4GHz. when testing signal strength...I noticed that channel 11 (for example) on the band edge is lower for me. I assume that channel 1 would also be lower, but haven't checked that one, just went back to channel 6 *smile*.

Yes was on channel 6, 1 and 11 are lower. I contacted Asus and they told me to choose channels 8 initially, followed by 1, 3, 6, 11 and 13. and enable Reducing USB 3.0 interference I did all that seams to be better but I still no big difference in sertin places I still get better 5ghz I think Asus lowerd alot transmit power on the 2ghz in europe

Try a different FW and compare it.

Good idea.
