    [RT-AC66R] WiFi is slow - should I install new FW?

    Tried this, and still nothing. I didn't have insidder running. Crash course, indeed! Yes, it's a usb wifi device. Not sure how I check the power profile though... I made sure to go to the Power Management tab of the NIC and uncheck the box allowing Windows to turn off the device to save power...

    [RT-AC66R] WiFi is slow - should I install new FW?

    Thanks for the info ... and the free Wi-Fi ;) So I updated the drivers on the USB NIC and then all of a sudden I was getting speeds a little closer to 150. Then, after a little bit, the speeds went back down to around 80. I changed the channel from auto to 149 and then the speeds shot up to...

    [RT-AC66R] WiFi is slow - should I install new FW?

    I'm losing my mind - I have no idea what the problem is. I picked up an Asus USB-AC56 for a good deal and figured I would give it a try. When I do a speed test, I'm getting pretty much the exact same speeds as before ~80-90 Mbps. From what I can see, there is no interference that would be...

    When I run inSIDDer, it shows my 5 GHz signal strength is -55 dBm.

    [RT-AC66R] WiFi is slow - should I install new FW?

    Thanks again for all of your help - I'm going to do some research and order the one that would be the best for my setup. I have USB 3.0 on my computer, so that should limit me a little less. Thanks for the input - I know how I'm spending this afternoon :)

    [RT-AC66R] WiFi is slow - should I install new FW?

    You've been really helpful - I appreciate you taking the time! Can you recommend an option? I'm using an all-in-one PC, so I can't swap out the card. Possibly a USB Wireless option? Something like this...

    [RT-AC66R] WiFi is slow - should I install new FW?

    Yeah, I tried them all. Currently I'm on 161 and same thing. If anything, I'm getting more inconsistent speeds while I'm on this channel. Should I be fiddling with any of the settings of my NIC?

    [RT-AC66R] WiFi is slow - should I install new FW?

    Sorry - my apologies. I didn't understand you were talking about the network card. Here's a screenshot of the 5 GHz band. I disconnected all of my other devices, leaving just the computer with the Atheros card.

    [RT-AC66R] WiFi is slow - should I install new FW?

    I installed the new firmware and reset it to default settings - I seem to be maxing out at about the same speeds ~90 Mbps. I THINK it's AC capable based on this info - https://www.asus.com/us/Networking/RTAC66R/overview/ I tried every channel and they are all giving me the same speed.

    [RT-AC66R] WiFi is slow - should I install new FW?

    So the long story short is that I'm with Time Warner Cable and they just updated my internet to 300 Mbps, but I wasn't getting anywhere close to that speed. They replaced my modem with a new Ubee modem, and now, when I'm plugged in to either the modem, or my Asus RT-AC66R with Cat5e, i'm getting...
