    Tx Bursting on 5Ghz Wireless

    It needs to be removed, my speeds were terrible having it enabled. After disabling, I'm maxing out my connection. I have only N and AC devices, G seems to be obsolete. Sent from my LM-G710 using Tapatalk

    AC86U bad WiFi performance

    Now the speeds are much better, seems like the culprit was a setting known as " T x Bursting" , after disabling it, wifi speeds are much faster, It might benefit OP too. In fact, I would say it is perfect now. Found few suggestions from here...

    AC86U bad WiFi performance

    My main goal is to achieve close to 532 mbps which I doubt I'll ever get on wifi. But today it was much better, after loading the Asus 384.81858. Do you think 384.18 alpha is going to be any better than original 384.8158 firmware in performance especially on wifi? Sent from my LM-G710 using...

    AC86U bad WiFi performance

    It turns out Merlin's 384.17 is buggy. Using the stock Asus firmware I got the speeds that I wanted.

    AC86U bad WiFi performance

    Which version do you have? Mine is the newer 2019 model. Ok, what actually worked was changing the wireless mode to auto but keeping the channel to 1 & setting 40 mhz. If I select N only then it's 144 mbps, if I set auto it's 173 mbps. Strange

    RT-AC86U - Awful router - Netgear wins

    But broadcom used to make amazing Wifi 2x2 AC chip Hmm, this actually worked. So the bug was in Merlin's 384.17 firmware. Speeds are normal and great now. Merlin's 384.17 firmware is buggy, then.

    RT-AC86U - Awful router - Netgear wins

    Oh you mean to say use original Aswrt over Merlin's latest firmware. You sure about that? Btw I have the 2019 version but it follows the EU regulation with channels 149-165 locked. This is the first router which is giving me access to DFS channels but locking the UNII 3 channels. D-link DIR...

    RT-AC86U - Awful router - Netgear wins

    Hmm, Interesting. You should try the Netgear R7800 & the R7000 then. I just purchased an AC86u & Loaded the Asuswrt Merlin firmware on it, did a factory reset & set it up from scratch. After hours & hours of testing the best i could get on it was 480 mbps on speed test that too once on wifi...

    AC86U bad WiFi performance

    You pretty much seem to be biased towards Asus. I don't blame you, cause it works for you.

    AC86U bad WiFi performance

    Look at this then: https://www.snbforums.com/threads/rt-ac86u-awful-router-netgear-wins.44224/#post-376946 Just because you're having good performance doesn't mean that it'll be the same for all. There are lots of threads created here of people complaining about mediocre wireless performance on...

    AC86U bad WiFi performance

    It's a known issue on the AC86U, the wifi is crippled. Edit: Turns out, it was Merlin's 384.17 firmware which was buggy, and dropped the speeds drastically. Which region are you located? Use 80 mhz for 5 Ghz & select higher channels to see if it improves the speed. If you're in US or a region...

    Poor download speed over WiFi with Asus ac86u 5 GHz

    Guys, I was testing all night yesterday, so my suggestion is if you're in Europe or any other region where Channel (149-165) is locked, try DFS channels. DFS channel & Select 80 mhz. Solution: With DFS channels my Speed improved on 5 Ghz, it went from 270 mbps to 400-480 mbps. Almost there...

    Poor download speed over WiFi with Asus ac86u 5 GHz

    Maybe you're using this as your primary router and with minimal interference. I'm using this as my 2nd router and I tried both repeater mode and also using an Extender to connect to my Netgear router. Both methods have failed and my doenload speeds are mostly 270 mbps. For now my previous...

    Poor download speed over WiFi with Asus ac86u 5 GHz

    You must try Upper band Channels to see if it resolves your problem and make sure the link speed on your iphone is showing atleast 866 mbps. Try changing the channel to 149-153. I have the same problem with my speeds on AC86U which gets capped around 270 mbps on channel 36-48. I wanted to try...

    Voxel Voxel firmware

    Linksys has the worst UI, if you haven't experienced it yet. It's sluggish & also settings takes quite a lot of time to apply. Netgear has been doing good on their Newer Firmwares. Luckily the only advantage I have it is region free version, I got a good apple. This router was purchased in...

    D-Link DIR-882 AC2600 MU-MIMO Wi-Fi Router Reviewed

    I tried my old router DIR 850L and it had the same issue, which capped my speed on channel 48 to 230 mbps, and on channel 149 it reached 348 mbps but when I used it wired I got 532 mbps. On Dlink DIR 882, the weird speed cap of 230 mbps thing is only happening with channel 36-48 , but using...

    r7800 wireless lan speed

    Smart connect might be placing your devices to 2.4 Ghz. Try disabling SC and set seperate 2.4 Ghz and 5Ghz SSID. Sent from my LM-G710 using Tapatalk

    r7800 wireless lan speed

    Make sure your speeds is set to 1733 mbps in Wireless settings. Use WPA2 AES 160 mhz is not required to achieve 866 mbps. Sent from my LM-G710 using Tapatalk
