Hey guys, I've recently got an RT-AC68U and although I love all the features of it (QoS, VPN, Wake On LAN etc), I've been a bit disappointed in the 5GHz wireless performance, as my iPhone is regularly dropping wifi signal in places where my previous NETGEAR R6250 worked fine. The only place the Asus does better is in the back garden; all other weak wifi areas have better signal on the Netgear. I'm really surprised by this, as the Asus is almost twice as expensive and has 3 external antennas, whereas the Netgear's antennas are all internal.
I've tried pointing the antennas in loads of different ways but if I'm honest it made no noticeable difference - no matter where they were pointed the wireless signal seemed exactly the same in all rooms.
I haven't really tested 2.4GHz as this is typically much slower than 5GHz, and also because any decent router will cover my whole house easily on 2.4GHz...
If anyone is able to suggest how to improve the 5GHz range I'd really appreciate it. Thanks!
