    AC-87U Constant Wireless Issues

    Hello, Okay so I decided after some research to re-flash the router with merlin build 3.0.0.4.376.48_1. After I did that I reset to factory and then cleared NVRAM (held WPS button while turning router on). I have setup the basic wireless and so far it seems to be much better. Probably...

    AC-87U Constant Wireless Issues

    Hello, So I am at cross roads on deciding if I should just return the AC-87U and try something different (WRT1900AC) instead. I seem to be having issues with wireless that I just canno't track down. I am connecting to wireless fine (both 2.4ghz & 5ghz) but what I am finding is that often when...
