    RT-AC68U Problem. Slow WiFi

    My suggestion was to verify that wired speeds work as expected. After wired speed meets expectations, then try wireless: the problem with wireless is that in many areas 2.4 GHz is crowded and 5 GHz is following suit. This is true even if the router is right in-front of the test device.

    zWave USB hub on RT-AC68U

    Has anyone had success with USB zWave device plugged into a router? Here is an example of such a device: http://www.amazon.com/dp/B003MWQ30E/?tag=snbforums-20 It would be nice if I did not have to add another box (zWave controller) to the network.

    Newbie assistance - basic MoCA cabling

    RT-AC68U Problem. Slow WiFi

    Remove the ISP from the testing and start with wired connections. Use a large file (>1GB) and copy it from to a wired PC.

    Tp-Link AC1750 Archer C7 - Deal?

    The router is arguably the most critical computer in your network. Get the best you can afford. Although mine are free from T-Mobile, I would not hesitate to buy the same model from Amazon if I had to replace them.

    AC68U Frequently dying on me

    Q1) Was the NVRAM reset after flashing firmware? Q2) Can you eliminate heat as being a root-cause problem? Q3) Can you run the system on any firmware to confirm (374.43?) that it is a SW and not HW problem?

    Exercising a new router for remote deployment

    I am frequently tasked to buy and configure routers for relatives. That being said, I like to test \ burn-in for a few days before sending them out into the field. Is there a good battery of tests (script) or is there a task (such as torrenting) that adequately exercises a router?
