    New RP-AC1900 in AiMesh, something weirds happening

    Get rid of those Asus gear...they are plagued with heat issues and wifi dropouts when used over a longer period of time for heavy duty tasks. Only the nighthawk R7800 can withstand the heat and the heavy load you put on it. Never had speed issues with it. ASUS is only best for laptops...

    Wifi Extending for Dummies

    You'll need a very strong Wifi extender that will do 4x4 MU MIMO with external antennas for best results. Also a 2nd router which needs to be connected to the wifi extender. 2nd router need not be super expensive. Buy a dlink or a tplink or a refurbished Asus. I suggest you should check up on...

    Asus USB-AC68 Wifi adapter Region locked & Speed Limit

    That's the only option on my D-link 882 router. Can't force WPA2 AES. I have requested this feature on Dlink forums to add WPA2 and AES only. Sent from my LM-G710 using Tapatalk

    Asus USB-AC68 Wifi adapter Region locked & Speed Limit

    Now that, the workaround has been found for the Region thing, how can I solve the Speed limit (230 mbps)? This only happens the moment I restart my computer or disconnect the USB-AC68. I have to reinstall the ASUS Utility client to get the Max speeds of 530 mbps. Perhaps, it's a manufacturing...

    Netgear R7800 Firmware Version 1.0.2.68

    UPNP, which stands for Universal Plug & Play is broken on this firmware. For those using torrent clients, or any application which requires port forwarding will have a difficult time with this firmware. I have tested this firmware on my Netgear X4S and reverted back to the latest stable version...

    Asus RT-AC88U rapid flashing power LED light after firmware upgrade

    Usually happens when you install openwrt or dd wrt. With stock I have never experienced this on both of my Asus router which I own AC88u and AC68U. Did you switch off before the update process was completed? Sent from my LM-G710 using Tapatalk

    Asus USB-AC68 Wifi adapter Region locked & Speed Limit

    My link speed is 1.3 gbps but the actual throughput is low. Even my laptop connected at 433 mbps get better throughput. Seems like Asus really screwed up their Wifi adapters. Laptop connected at 433 mbps gets around 336 mbps on speed test. USB AC68 connected at 1.3 gbps gets only around 230...

    Asus USB-AC68 Wifi adapter Region locked & Speed Limit

    So do you think there is workaround for it? I tried the US firmware too but with same results, it won't detect upper band. Sent from my LM-G710 using Tapatalk

    Asus USB-AC68 Wifi adapter Region locked & Speed Limit

    Any way to force it to global, or fool the driver to recognise the region as US ? I'll try setting the region to US also. Sent from my LM-G710 using Tapatalk

    Asus USB-AC68 Wifi adapter Region locked & Speed Limit

    Ok, I'll edit my signature. It was purchased in Middle East, but I'm using Dlink's Firmware where 141-165 is accesible, which was purchased in the same region. I remember I had the AC68U and I could choose channel 141-165 easily. I don't know why would ASUS lock the upper band channels for the...

    Asus USB-AC68 Wifi adapter Region locked & Speed Limit

    Seems to work well on my SS enable laptop port but I'll have to do more testing with Realtek's driver. I'm connected at 1.3 gbps but the speed gets capped at 230 mbps. Is there a code to unlock upper band channels on 5 ghz i.e channel 141-165. I read a thread about the PCE AC68 with broadcom...

    Asus USB-AC68 Wifi adapter Region locked & Speed Limit

    Hi friends, so I had bought an USB-AC68 Wifi adapter few months back cause the wifi on my old laptop was broken. Since the day I purchased this adapter, I had these issues: 1) Speed is limited to 230 mbps, sometimes reaches the maximum of 532 mbps. Driver bugged? 2) Channels 149-165 are not...

    Increasing the 5GHz WiFi range?

    I'll give you solutions: 1) You need to boost the signal with a third party firmware. Works but your Signal to Noise ratio will increase. 2) Get a hold on the D-link DAP 1860 or the TP-Link RE650 to use it to connect to the main router and then connect this to a 2nd router or AP. My config...

    PCE-AC66 wifi card not picking up 5ghz 149-161 channels

    Does this trick work on Asus USB-AC68 adapter? It has a Realtek Chipset 8814au. Can I use a compatible driver which is region free? I can't see my D-Link router which is on channel 149. I see only the Netgear X4s, my other device see both. Why would a manufacturer implement Region Lock on an...

    Max throughput of 433 mbps Link rate... Achieving 330 mbps..Can we close the gap furthermore?

    So I decided to Re-Test with Anti-Virus off, & it did bring up the speeds to 45-46 MB/sec which is roughly 364- 368 mbps. I also prioritized Bitcomet.exe through task manager in Real Time mode, previously it was in normal mode. I thought 4x4 Router on 1x1 client will bring the speeds closer to...
