    N66U - Shocking 2.4Ghz performance all firmwares 3.0.0.3.151 and above ?

    If anyone has a 2011 or 2012 macbook air and an N66U - would be useful if you could test/confirm your macbook's MCS Index and transmit rate obtained when connected on 2.4Ghz to your router and then confirm router firmware version (either lower than .144 or above). Thanks I will aggregate...

    N66U - Shocking 2.4Ghz performance all firmwares 3.0.0.3.151 and above ?

    "The MCS (Modulation and Coding Scheme) tells the data rate in Mbit/s between the access point (router) and the wifi chip itself. There are values from 0 - 31 which correlates to a specific data rate in conjunction with the used frequency band, coding rate, spatial stream and modulation type...

    N66U - Shocking 2.4Ghz performance all firmwares 3.0.0.3.151 and above ?

    I'll keep playing around. Thanks. Up until an hour ago I didn't know what MCS index was either - but now I understand it's essentially the rate of negotiation / data rates when a link is established on 802.11n networks: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/802.11n For some reason which defies...

    N66U - Shocking 2.4Ghz performance all firmwares 3.0.0.3.151 and above ?

    Unfortunately no difference / improvement. Here's the same 2.4Ghz screenshot back on .112 firmware side by side with .162 showing the drop. As you can see transmit rate shoots back up to 130 (max on 2.4Ghz for the Macbook air it seems). No settings changed whatsoever - just hopping back...

    N66U - Shocking 2.4Ghz performance all firmwares 3.0.0.3.151 and above ?

    Hi Merlin, Thanks for the advice. I used OSX Terminal to telnet this command. Then rebooted. Initially transmit rate showed 130, then fell back down to 5 again after about 20 seconds as indicated by the screenshot when connected to the 2.4Ghz network :( Any ideas what could be causing this...

    N66U - Shocking 2.4Ghz performance all firmwares 3.0.0.3.151 and above ?

    Um yeah - I posted some observations in that thread. Bottom line is something has seriously changed in the Asus FW versions circa. 144 and above from my testing. Some devices simply cannot use 2.4Ghz after updating to those numbers. Anything before is perfect, and 5Ghz is rock solid on...

    N66U - Shocking 2.4Ghz performance all firmwares 3.0.0.3.151 and above ?

    Hi all Looking for some advice here. Disclaimer: I can only get my Huawei E372 3G usb modem working on firmwares above .151 including Merlin's so I'm stuck using the latest releases. However, on the same range of firmwares my 2.4Ghz performance is basically dead on the following 2 devices: -...

    Asus RT-N66U and 3G Connection Problems !

    I followed your K4605 to E372 firmware flashing tip successfully at this link so as to get my N66U to recognise the USB modem: http://mybroadband.co.za/vb/showthread.php/367976-Vodafone-K4605-(Huawei-E372)-Firmware?highlight=K4605 And nothing worked. My N66U revision B1 shipped with the .90...
