    Choosing between Asus AC86U and MikroTik hAP AC

    Own them both, been spending months to get the best out of hAP ac2, my conclusion is don't go for hAP ac2 if your ISP speed is more than 300mbps. Yes I can get max speed of 490mbps+ from hAP ac2 (many other reviewers just got nearly 400mbps and they were thrilled and laugh at others, this is the...

    AC86U got stronger 5G Wi-Fi

    I used to have an AC86U a year or two before, and noticed it performed better in high channels (149~161) than low channels (36~48) in US region, the FCC report almost pointed this out as low channels has 600mw+ and high channels has 900mw+. I’d sold it after months after using it. Recently I...

    Custom firmware build for R7800 v. 1.0.2.65SF

    [ROG RAPTURE GT-AX11000] Experiences & Discussion

    Did you forget and reconnect to the newer Wi-Fi on your devices? I do it whenever I change my AP, and it helps to get the full speed of the newer AP. Many people will setup the new AP as the old one, same SSID and password, for painless upgrade and minimise the steps for exchanging AP, but this...

    5GHz AC same control channel better?

    Means if my neighbor using channel 44/80MHz, using the exactly same 44/80MHz is better than channel 40/80MHz for me?

    AC Wi-Fi been taking almost all the channels available by using 80MHz, we are actually have only 2 options which is 36~48 or 149~161, as DFS channels are not available for everyone. I wanna keep using the lower channels as it's better for LISTENING to my phone, but my neighbors using these...
