    RT-AC88U

    Here are my rudimentary findings for a real world unofficial test. Old Router Asus RT-AC66, New Router Asus RT-AC88. Using a Windows 7 PC connected wired to the router and a Samsung S2 Tablet connected wireless to the router located in the same room about 6 feet apart. The only change to the...

    RT-AC88U

    I'm patiently waiting for mine to arrive so I can do my own test. Amazon says it should come today but UPS says not till Monday. :(

    RT-AC88U

    Actually the 3100 with only 4 ports is the BestBuy model.

    RT-AC88U

    You are correct. The 3100 is sold at Best Buy and the AC88 can be purchased at places like Amazon, NewEgg, etc...

    Powerline or Wireless Bridge

    I wasn't sure what kind of issues I would have connecting AC and N and G devices wireless to an access point that was connected to a wireless bridge. I might glow in the dark after all this. I'm assuming I would have to use different channels for the access point to not interfere with the...

    Powerline or Wireless Bridge

    Which would probably do the job better with respect to speed and latency? I have a multi story house with wired and wireless devices all over. I was thinking of using a Powerline connection from my upstairs router to an access point downstairs to improve wireless signal strength downstairs. I...

    RT-AC88U

    That's fair. With the liberal return policy of Amazon, I think I'll go ahead and order one and do my "real world" test to see if it is worth an upgrade over my AC66. If I had a ac68 or newer I probably wouldn't do it. I can always send it back. Thanks guys for all your input.

    RT-AC88U

    Maybe if we asked nicely, Tim would install the new firmware on the AC88 and see if it does make a difference. Please, Please, Tim! :)

    RT-AC88U

    Were you using John's fork?

    RT-AC88U

    Thanks for all of the info you supplied in your testing. I did notice all of the routers you tested were newer than mine. I'll have to do some more reading on the differences going back to the RT-AC66.

    RT-AC88U

    I currently have a RT-AC66. Do you think I would benefit in any area, besides 4 extra ports, by upgrading to the RT-AC88? We currently have John's fork running and thought maybe devices at the far end of the house might actually get worse since John's fork doesn't support the new router. I do...

    [Fork] Asuswrt-Merlin 374.43 LTS releases (Archive)

    Sorry if this has been discussed before but I currently have a RT-AC66 with John's fork firmware. I got the upgrade urge and considered buying an RT-AC68P and use John's fork again. Of course my wife stepped in and said "what's wrong with the one we have now?" Is there good justification for...

    DSLReports Speed Test Now Measuring Buffer Bloat

    Wonder why quality and speed are so bad. Is it because I only subscribe to 10m/800k? I set QOS to 9.9m/750k.
