    RT-AC87U - Frustrations...

    So far the 5Ghz has been stable with no dropouts that I noticed. 2.4ghz also looks ok. EDIT: 2.4 gets timeouts also - 5 doesnt. The thing is those latencies! I am pinging from 192.168.1.X to 192.168.1.1 DIRECTLY and the latency on the 2.4 is around 10-1000ms and on the 5ghz is 2-200ms or...
