    Coming over to "AC" from RT-N66. Looking for suggestions

    Hey guys, Sorry for the very delayed response here. All seemed fine until recently when it started giving me problems like it did when I first put this up. I think I need to get another N66 and just put it downstairs and use it as a AP. I'm not sure what else to do at this point.

    Yeah I turned off xfinity. That seemed to be the culprit actually. Yes, I can't explain why that powerline ethernet extender is so darn poor on wifi. when you plug into it, it's excellent. My only other idea is if I put my old netgear WNDR3700 router downstairs and use a powerline ethernet...

    I guess I can get a used one... http://www.ebay.com/itm/Asus-RT-AC56U-Dual-band-Wireless-AC-1200-Gigabit-Router-/262324852257?hash=item3d13c79621:g:MzEAAOSwr7ZW3mha Or a used ac66u...

    so the AC-56U is better than a AC-66U? So what is the point of a newer generation ac radio if it wouldn't benefit me (or others?) in anyway? I guess this topic has really veered off, but how would one setup the 2 routers (one AP, one bridge off powerline Ethernet)? Would they both be named the...

    Hey there, I did put 2.4 on 20mhz for the last test. I will leave it on that if I get better reception as well. I'm sure having the two routers close enough and with it broadcasting it's signal, it hindered performance (especially 2.4 ghz) In a synopsis, disabling the xfinity helped my signal...

    Nope at 100. Was 1st thing I checked. Some good news in a way. Look at the vid. Driving now but I'll type up updated results in a little.

    Is there an in-network speedtest I can do? Perhaps I can loginto a specific computer in the house via ip and go to a url and do a connection speed test?

    All good trouble shooting. Let me finish eating my before work snack and I'll do another live video and see what happens! What would "ac" bring to the table for me? (ac1900, ac2600, ac3100, ac5300!?) and if i'm getting 90mpbs near the router, what should I be theoretically getting on the...

    What are the benefits of AC5300 over AC3100? Been looking at the Netgear R7800 (X4s) as well which is a AC2600 iirc. That one seems to be MU MIMO ready out of the box

    Is it a possibility the 2.4ghz radio inside the router actually took a crap?

    no wireless computer devices in there. The only thing are 2 receivers in the 500-900mhz range for weather station and ADS-B receiver. All keyboards and mice and wired in the room. no bluetooth headsets. The house does have a z-wave alarm system throughout, but none of the z-wave stuff is in the...

    You quoted the answer to your question lol. 1 is a Vtech CS6719 home phone operating on 1.9ghz. the thing next to that is a portable radio charger which isn't on when being charged. There are no other 2.4 devices.

    Coming over to "AC" from RT-N66. Looking for suggestions

    I'm willing to spend the money if it'll improve performance in the house (range and speed) I could put the spare N66U downstairs if it helps, but then I assume it will be the bottle neck and I'll lose out on the advantage the AC3100 would give me. the Galaxy S7 is MU-MIMO so at least the 2...

    Coming over to "AC" from RT-N66. Looking for suggestions

    Just don't see what can interfere besides the xfinity thing which I'll make sure to disable if it's from me. it's on 20/40. I mean even at few feet from router it's horrible. The cordless phone base (the main base) is 1.9ghz (vtech CS6719) so I'm not sure if that could be it. the other thing...

    Coming over to "AC" from RT-N66. Looking for suggestions

    I'll check that when I get home and try to disable it. worst case scenario, I'll cover it in alum foil lol. So what can I do to improve I have going on now? That's really the only location I can put the router. the desktops are hardwired into the router so... I'm still baffled why the 2.4ghz...

    Thanks guys... There indeed is a baby monitor which I'm sure transmits over 2.4ghz. Here is the camera we use SSID Xfiniti is the public access that's around my house I guess for our provider. It's not being transmitted from my router though I don't think. I have all those shut off. HHC 5G is...

    and for the love of god, what are all these AC classes... 1750, 1900, 3100, 3200, 5300 etc etc etc... I tried understanding them, but I really don't. One would think to pick the highest number, but apparently it's not that simple. Seems like the manufacturers just keeping adding up the speeds...

    Hey everyone, We bought a new home September and it's a bigger house than what we previously had (single floor 1700 ft apt vs new 2800 sq ft 2 floor home). This brought some issues with wifi that I didn't face before... Router is upstairs and is a RT-N66. the devices upstairs work pretty well...

    computer won't connect to internet on 5ghz w/new router

    I'm just such at a loss, I don't even know how to explain it.. I just installed an Asus RT-N66R router in my home and for some reason, my desktop is refusing to connect to the internet with it. I have all my other devices connecting to it via 5ghz and it's perfect with good up speed (60...
