    Best channel settings for 5ghz on N66U?

    1. Is "auto" the best for finding the best channel? a. How often does it change based on interference, if at all? b. Are low or high channels preferred? I haven't really seen much difference either way, though. 2. Should I leave the channel bandwidth at 20/40 or 40? Does it always try for...

    Downloads disconnect my internet

    I had a similar issue before on my LAN where large transfers would cause the router to lock up. It might be a stretch, but check to see if you have a bad NIC on one of your client.

    RT-N66R WiFi dropping

    I'll just reiterate here: latest doesn't mean greatest. Maybe try an older SDK5 build, such as Merlin's .374.35_SDK5?

    RT-N66R WiFi dropping

    These routers should be fine even with high-bandwidth. I remember running a test of 5 or 6 1080p wireless streams at once and it was fine. Try a reset first and start from there. What firmware version are you running?

    RT-N66R WiFi dropping

    Have you tried a full factory reset? Is the device extremely hot? Are you using the N66R just as an AP or as a router?

    Weird random local network "dropouts"

    Agreed. Whenever your DHCP lease is up, it's getting a IP configuration from something else. Run something like this to check for DHCP servers on your network: http://blogs.technet.com/b/teamdhcp/archive/2009/07/03/rogue-dhcp-server-detection.aspx

    How do various RT-N66 builds rank for performance/security?

    I guess it depends on what's connected to your network. Not every device I had played well, but it ended up being related to the router and not the devices. I mentioned this in another thread but I'll note here, but here were my experiences with recent versions: .374.40 (SDK6) - WGA600N adapter...

    How do various RT-N66 builds rank for performance/security?

    I'm using B1, yes. AFAIK, the newer/current model being sold is a B2. My version is safe to use the older FWs and I have absolutely no issues running .270.26b on my version.

    How do various RT-N66 builds rank for performance/security?

    No real reason. I'm sure .276 would've worked as well. I just happen to come across it one day, and it was a merlin build, so I installed it and it worked well ever since.

    How do various RT-N66 builds rank for performance/security?

    I can vouch that 270.26b has been the best wireless performer for me on my N66U. I've went through .374.40, .372.31, most recently and found this to be solid as a rock.

    Best Stock Firmware Version

    From my experience, I've had various issues with different devices losing connection on the newer firmwares. SDK6 broke somethings, while switching to the latest SDK5 version fixed some, but broke others. I finally settled on an even older .270 build (merlin's .270.26b to be exact) and it has...

    Asus RT-N66U Losing connection

    I second the SDK5 issue. When I was using SDK6 (.374.40), I was having disconnects with my WGA600N. When I reverted to SDK5 (.372.31), it fixed the WGA600N issue, but my HTC incredible 2 was having disconnects. What works for me (so far, both devices are solid) is .270.26b :) I've...

    Downloading legacy firmware? Archive?

    If anyone was interested, here are some that I've come across: https://drive.google.com/folderview?id=0BzaDKiWiMQoHQWk2ekpDRVdVZzA&usp=sharing

    updating new firmware from old version

    I typically ran the update of the FW through the browser, then did a factory reset. I've gone from old, to new, and now back to old (sticking with the .270.26b) without bricking

    SDK6 caused disconnects with my WGA600N

    That was also something I was going to try, but read about how 270.26b was pretty popular for stability. So far it's been great, and the troubles I had with not only the WGA600N but my old HTC Incredible 2 also disconnecting after a couple days seems to have gone away. I asked this in...

    Access a HD behind RT-N66U, behind 2WIRE 3800?

    Was the N66U in AP mode? If so, it should all be on the same network and there might not have been a need to move the N66U.

    SDK6 caused disconnects with my WGA600N

    I've been having issues with my old .40 merlin firmware and having my WGA600N gaming adapter stay connected. The problem was, it would randomly disconnect after a couple days. I have since downgraded to .31 (SDK5) and the issue has went away. It has been stable for weeks now. I'm currently on an...

    N66U - Differences between .270.26 and .372.31 wifi performance?

    What is the difference between these two merlin builds in terms of wifi performance and stability? I hear people touting the raw performance of .27X builds but from what I understand, the .372.31 FW for N66U still used the 270 wifi drivers. They also both are SDK5 from what I understand...

    Most stable version of Merlin.

    Is this safe (i.e., not hijacked, from merlin's account, etc)?

    Where can I download 3.0.0.4.270.26b for N66U?

    Is there a mediafire link? Thanks. EDIT: nevermind, found it: http://download818.mediafire.com/th0o6yw3u4tg/c87a2qf920vi2cg/RT-N66U_3.0.0.4_270.26b.zip
