Can you post the output from System Log/Wireless Log while you have your test client connected? (remember to block out your MAC address).

EDIT: Collin and I obviously think alike

Perhaps it's overheating. What temperature do you have shown at Administration > Performance tuning? I get 54 degrees C (I have 5GHz turned off BTW)

How about System Log > Wireless Log?

49-51 degree's depending on GHz

Will be tomorrow now chaps - been working on this for around 5 hours, time for bed.

Put my old router back on for the time being as I work from home & need a stable/decent net connection (hence the purchase in the first place lol).

Cheers

You also could try setting 2.4 Ghz to 20 Mhz if you have a lot of routers near you.

I tried that as well - changed from 20/40 to just 20 - same problem.

Only 2 routers in range, 1 on channel 1, the other on 11. Tried auto channel (put me on 6 as expected) & also hard set channel 6 too - no change.

Nothing I've done changes anything.

Do the 2.4GHz signal & 5GHz signal come from the same aerial ? I may swap them around to see if one is damaged ? Clutching at straws here lol

Think I've solved my issues now

Probably not one for this section of the forum, but I reflashed with the latest Tomato firmware & I'm getting full signal on both frequencies in the same room as the router & also max speeds.

Signal still drops to around 65% in the next room, but the speed has increased to around 25MB.

I am seeing a full signal in the far corner of the next room though where I previously had a dead spot, so may just need to fiddle with the antenna's a little.

Thanks again for the input guys.

So it was firmware related?

So it was firmware related?

Seemed to be, although I tried the latest ASUS firmware, 2 versions of Merlin & a Merlin Fork before I moved to tomato.
