Hello,
I just purchased the RT-AC1900P and just installed Merlin 384.4. I was surprised how the connection to my 802.11n devices where slower than my older Netgear WNDR3700v1 with dd-wrt.
I've improved the speed the laptop on the 2.4 GHz band by choosing 802.11n only and a 40 MHz bandwidth and I did that to the 5 GHz radio as well. The only problem device, really is the DCS-936L. It was giving me 20 FPS with the old router but now I'm only getting 5 FPS and lots of lag. Not sure if there are some settings or advanced settings that need to be changed.
Netflix is loading a little slow on the Roku sticks on the 5 GHz network, normally they start playing at 5 Mbps but now they start off slow at 2 Mbps and slowly work their way up. My old router had an feature for the 5 GHz radio for a 'video network'.
Any tips and suggestions here would be greatly appericated.

Thanks! :)

It's not necessarily the connection though. Okay.. well.. maybe the camera because when I put my hand in front of it, the playback drops out.
