    Linksys EA8500 Max-Stream AC2600 MU-MIMO Smart Wi-Fi Router Reviewed

    I am still running perfectly with the EA8500, I still can not find or see any glitch at all. My connection from my ISP is the best I had with any router to date All that bloat asus puts on theirs causes issues for sure, besides build issues, no more asus for me or recommended by me anymore. I...

    Really?? I can't wait to see what you think? The setup is a little tricky for some Make sure you pull power from your cable modem Install Put power back in to cable modem then power up router The Linksys will ask you to power cycle modem and router (I think) I did 2 things then skipped and...

    Asus RT-AC87U max tx power

    Hi, Yes my wifi printer problem with the EA8500 was the printer not the router at all, the printer must have saved something in the network settings from the Asus router, as soon as I reset the network on the printer, then set the printer wifi back up, I no longer have any problems. I am...

    Asus RT-AC87U max tx power

    It is 316mw from what I have been told, i had mine at 300mw and that seems to be right where asus puts theirs at. Someone said we could go to 700mw with a laptop cooler under it, I have now moved on to a different brand that is so far very stable for me.

    DDWRT for RT-AC87 - You should seriously consider it

    hey cc666, I am now on tx power on both bands to 300mv. All seems still normal for temps. I was told Asus uses 316mv, as my tests finds it may be the case, at 300mv it seems coverage is just as good as Asus firmware. I had some hiccups, so I cleared nvram, and flashed with reset again. I...

    Just installed for my friend tonight 07-09-2015-r27506-asus-rt-ac87u dd-wrt As of today, still no more issues, now just to see how long it lasts without reboot. Seems to be the best (stable) firmware out there as of today.

    DDWRT for RT-AC87 - You should seriously consider it

    It makes wifi stable for me in weaker areas, try without then try it with, Long is for older wifi devices Short is for newer wifi devices from what I have read, I only have a 2nd gen iTouch (for old devices) and that still works, but wifi is more stable for me on both bands when set to short (no...

    DDWRT for RT-AC87 - You should seriously consider it

    I would flash it a second time thru the GUI and make sure you select "reset to factory defaults" choose your file then press upgrade in "administration" "firmware upgrade" I am still running great now after flashing twice, one in asus GUI then like this as soon as I could.

    DDWRT for RT-AC87 - You should seriously consider it

    There is a setting for it in the GUI on DD-wrt, under "administration" "Management" for overclocking, any reason why you are not using that easy method? Also What benefit is it giving you? Also I had those settings, BUT I re-flahed my router, and also set the Preamble to short on the 5GHz, (I...
