DOH! I've read that too, just not well enough it seems.. well.. ignore me then, just an enthusiastic new user.

I decided to go ahead and make an official release specifically for the RT-AC87, since the router is about to become more widely available, and some people might not be too hot with the idea of running a firmware release labeled as "alpha".

For reminder, the wireless driver used is from Asus's 376_2061 release. The experimental DPI bit however were reverted, so this release will also be using the same DPI engine as used in 376_2061.

you guys have made me jealous the ac66 is a first gen ac product so I guess its to be expected it wont perform optimally, I think the extra speed of the 5ghz is expected because of that. But seeing double performance is indeed impressive but since I only got my ac66 less than a year ago I am not going to replace it yet.

My only 5ghz product is my phone, and the speed I get is easily good enough (after applying #a), my laptop which I do copy files to/from is 2.4ghz only. However my spare pc does have an AC dongle in which I just remembered about, will check its performance later.
