Hi so I'm stuck with my current setup that I've posted about before of a AC3100 and 2x AC68U's
I've installed merlin on them all and they used to work fine but are now experiencing droppage, theres 3 floors to my house including the basement and the modem comes in from the basement, recently i've strung cable from the basement rafts all the way over to my work bench and moved my parent router there so that it is directly under the first floor's AC68U
also today I've configured the first AC68U to be a Repeater, and the other AC68U is a media bridge and connects to the repeaters SSID,
With that I can only get 40Mbps from my PC on that top floor AC68U, I used to be able to use the Asuswrt mesh functionality but then they did something and caused the routers to not work anymore, which is why i switched to merlin.
I know these aren't the most reliable but I wonder if i've just configured things wrong, I'm just a novice.
What could I be doing wrong.
Also I'm planning on buying TPLink Routers next because our old deco's we have are more reliable and also placed in the distances (the only problem with those we had is that they would overheat.
Also Also we get 1Gbps Fiber from Altafiber, Unfortunately I can't do any wiring or anything so im stuck with wireless communications.
