Hi folks,
I have been a happy user of a AC-86U with merlin for about 2 years. A couple of weeks ago the 2.4ghz wifi died on my 86U and so i bought a AX-58U (AX-3000).
I have installed merlin 384.19 with factory reset(s) and setup new with minimum config - just recommended tweaks to wifi. Everything is working really well and I think better and smoother than my AC-86U.
One issue is that with my 86U, the wifi connection to my mac mini (2 streams / n) was always 450mbps but with the AX-58U I am getting a 300mbps connection (2 streams / n / 40Mhz). Is this related to different wifi hardware between the 2 routers?
Don't think it will make too much real wold difference but keen to understand if there is anything I can do to increase the connection speed...
Thanks all
