    Horrible 2.4GHZ speeds

    One more thing to add. I live in a remote area on 2 1/2 acres of land so I only occasionally pick up 1 bar of my next door neighbors linksys router. Other than that there is no competing SSID besides devices in the house.

    Horrible 2.4GHZ speeds

    Yes my desktop is hardlined and I get 100Mbps to my NAS and internet speeds consistent with wifi from my ISP, about 30Mbps

    Horrible 2.4GHZ speeds

    I've done this a few times. I used speedtest.net on multiple computers (work laptop, personal laptop, and two phones) and they all perform horrible on 2.4 and at advertised speeds on 5ghz. Also; I used NAStester to test local internet speeds (transfer to / from my Synology NAS) and the same...

    Horrible 2.4GHZ speeds

    Hey guys Did you try .44 ? I was on .43 with the issue and went to .44 this morning and had the same issue. Interestingly, I went back to my old (WRT-610N Linksys) router and noticed that my 2.4ghz seems slow there as well, which it didn't before. Also, this Asus router was performing OK...

    Horrible 2.4GHZ speeds

    Hey guys. I have an AC66R with 374.43 AsusWRT merlin http://www.smallnetbuilder.com/forums/images/editor/attach.gif This is my 2nd one. The speeds on 2.ghz are unusable. Speedtest.net shows internet speeds on 5ghz band at 40Mbps which is expected 2.4ghz band gets only 2.2 Mbps...

    Question on Traffic Monitor Per Device - Date Selection

    Thanks. Shame on me for not seeing that earlier. Appreciate the help again.

    2.4GHZ speeds are brutally slow

    That's what I'm checking. It was a refurbished unit from Newegg. I'd rather just RMA it now and see if a new unit solves my issues.

    2.4GHZ speeds are brutally slow

    No, the thing is with my old Linksys wrt610n I never had this issue at all. They were rock solid. I'm still wondering if it's just a bad unit, as a result of it being a refurb.... I'll give the bandwidth a try. I left everything as default.

    2.4GHZ speeds are brutally slow

    PS the NAS speed seems OK, ..." advertised read speed of 110 MB/s and 54 MB/s write when configured in RAID 1" So I guess I need to look at the read speeds for some reason but it's not like it's crazy off. Also I realize this is a stupid newb kind aquestion but I just realized I...

    2.4GHZ speeds are brutally slow

    I can't recall what I'm getting. I have Cat6 from my desktop to my router, and then cat6 from the router to the synology. Synology has 2 WD Red 3tb drives in it. I think the benchmark performance on the synology is about 80 - 100 so it is a bit slow for some reason. not sure why exactly...

    Question on Traffic Monitor Per Device - Date Selection

    Thanks rmerlin. Appreciate your effort on this firmware, by the way! Found this in the log: Jun 3 01:19:35 cstats[329]: Problem loading /mnt/USB_DISK/tomato_cstats_ac220b3109a8.gz. Still trying... Any tips on how to get this fixed? Is my path just wrong? The home page of the router...

    Question on Traffic Monitor Per Device - Date Selection

    I enabled it in options and hooked up a USB drive. However, I don't have the option to pick date ranges, the boxes FROM and TO are unselectable and therefore I can't get any data on it. This is for both Monthly and Daily logs. Any idea how to fix this? I'm using Chrome on Win7, btw. Also, is...

    2.4GHZ speeds are brutally slow

    Just a follow-up, just got home from being out this morning and everything seems to be running fine again. A note: I was using the real time monitor on the Asus while doing the tests below and nothing else significant was running. I do have some backups that go up to Glacier and FTP site...

    2.4GHZ speeds are brutally slow

    I should add. I ran NAS Performance tester with my synology to remove the internet from the equation. Test is 100MB file w/ 3 loops. The NIC in my test laptop is an N - adapter. With Ethernet, I'm getting about 60 write and 70 read from my NAS from my desktop. With 5GHZ, I'm getting about 11...

    2.4GHZ speeds are brutally slow

    Hey guys, I just picked up a new Asus AC66R router to replace my older Linksys WRT610N (same as the Cisco E3000, I think). It's connected to a SB6141 modem, I think. Anyway. I put a custom firmware build on the Asus (Merlin), the most recent one as of a few days ago. My ISP is charter...
