RT-AC68U doesn't get Gigabit Connection

[Phil_wifi]

@Phil_wifi, in case you don't know - when used in single level apartment the router antennas must be pointed straight up. Like this - | | |.

Good to know!

What router model you have decided to try first?

I don't rush it and keeping an eye out for the ax86u. A bunch of refurbished units were on sale recently in ASUS' online shop.

Don't buy refurbished units. They were refurbished for a reason. Some are only reset to default and come with issues. Open box is safer purchase.

Soooo… I swapped the ASUS back to the D-Link Covr 2200 with a node closer to my work place to see the difference and I'm getting ~600 Gbps in the same room with tue router and ~250 close to the node

I'm getting ~600 Gbps

I would like to buy this Covr from you. I’m offering $3000, but there is room for more.

Mbps of course. The lack of any real settings is infuriating though.

The speeds are about right for this type of “mesh” system. If it has AP mode, you can use your Asus as router only with Wi-Fi disabled. This way you get Asus options and extended Wi-Fi coverage. No extra spendings required.

It does. The Covr doesn't allow me to set anything except for SSID and password and general channel width (for both bands at once) but I cannot configure for 2.4 or 5 GHz networks individually. So could I use the Asus router to set channels etc that are then used by the Covr in AP mode?
