    Cyber Monday - Upgrade to AX88U PRO?

    Thank you, I will give the beta a try later on today! This thing has been rock solid and that's the reason I never upgraded again lol

    Cyber Monday - Upgrade to AX88U PRO?

    Got it! This might be a stupid question, but I do experience occasional hiccups when gaming, is there any settings I should be looking at to "optimize" for gaming? Typically my ping is around 23ms and 0% packet loss. Edit: I should note I am still running 386.5_2 after I had issues with later...

    Cyber Monday - Upgrade to AX88U PRO?

    That's what I figured, so this is probably as good as it's going to get at this point?

    Cyber Monday - Upgrade to AX88U PRO?

    I currently have an RT-AX86S running Merlin and honestly it has been fine for the most part. I see that the AX-88U PRO is on sale on Amazon currently and am considering the upgrade. Here is my use case. 3 story townhouse (built in 06') "Office" is on the main floor (that's where the modem /...

    Just to chime in; I have the AX-86S and have been running it for almost a year now. Currently running Merlin 386.5_2 and it's been solid!

    AX86S Slow WiFi speeds?

    I had eeros before this router and hated them. I shut off universal beamforming only per most of the recommendations. And I haven’t touched much else.

    AX86S Slow WiFi speeds?

    I find it a lot better than the eeros we replaced. This reaches the 3rd floor with no issues.

    AX86S Slow WiFi speeds?

    Thank you for easing my mind after the few days I’ve been in a battle with it!! Should I leave channel on auto for now if it’s working okay?

    AX86S Slow WiFi speeds?

    Just ran a speed test from my iPhone on the 5ghz band. This is on the 2nd floor (main floor /router and modem are on the first floor) 3 story townhouse.

    AX86S Slow WiFi speeds?

    I haven’t changed too much there I think universal beamforming off and maybe preamble short for 2.4. I figured to keep more things off of 5ghz if not needed and also it’s easier to set up iot devices on 2.4 from the phone if they are being picky. Everything has been stable just wasn’t sure if I...

    AX86S Slow WiFi speeds?

    Not sure what you mean, the airport utility is literally Apple airport WiFi utility haha! I assume spark NZ is a carrier? Forgive my ignorance. Once I get home I will get screenshots from my pc.
