Hi all,
just bought a RT-AC68U to replace my Fritz Box 7270 and really happy with the 5Ghz Performance and stability. As I had some issues with the old Router (Buffering playing Videos from Network, change regularly the Channel cause of many Networks around me) I did not expected to get better Performance. After Setting up everything I noticed after some Tests that it become worse than before and compared to the old 7270.
Tested with same Settings (same Channel, 20Mhz, same Laptop Position) and compared playing a Video from the Network in Kodi. With the old Box it works ok, sometimes it Buffers but you can watch the Video mostly. After switching to the AC68U I can't watch longer than a couple of minutes before the Stream hangs and often stops completely. Tested with two Laptops and both have the issue with 2.4 GHz. My Company Laptop can use the 5GHz WLAN where everything is working fine.
Is there any Setting I can made (newest Firmware) to get the Asus Router work like the old Firt Box? I don't expect to get better Results as I knew that the main issue are the amount of 2.4 Networks (more than 20) around me. As I already planing to buy a new Laptop with AC WLAN this issue would be solved shortly, but hope to find a Quick Solution to solve the issue.
