ASUS RT-AC5300

[madhatter01]

For me this router has been a tank. I had the RT-3200 and AC87u and they were buggy for the first 6 months. This has been solid right out of the box, not one issue.

Same with the AC88U been a week since installed and not one hiccup. Over 40 devices connected and not one complaint.

Free shipping 24 hour delivery in the USA from BH Photo. Seems very tempting.

Just received my router, configuring now, just realized that at the smart connection tab we have now the option to use only at 5ghz or both 5 and 2.4 one, nice addition

Well I'm getting way lower wifi speeds with the 5300 one compared to the 3200, so strange

Reset your client Profiles for the new Router - that would be the first step...

You mean forget the network on the devices? If yes I made it, if not what should I do? All the devices is mobile ones like iPhones and ipads

With smart connect off the speed at wifi is wayyyy better, smart connect at 3200 had better results, and yes I made the hard reset and clicked at the default smart connect rules

Yes, on the iDevices, just reset Network Settings and start over

not so strange , all the test I have seen don't show such a great if any improvement on 5 ghz bands , only 2.4 , and I hardly use 2.4 so the Asus 3200 is where I'll stay for a while . It is stable , reaches all corners of the house .

Yes the 2.4 one is a beast, way better

Do you get the undefined bug? When you will see the current control channel it appears undefined at the page

Merlin I read something that your alpha FW solved it, am I wrong?

Guys I made some tests and wanna share with you and see if it's normal

Smart Connect off :

iPhone 6s Plus - 2.4Ghz - strong speed never saw this speed before in any router 2.4

5ghz1 - amazing wifi speed, nothing to complain

5ghz2 - here is the problem, very poor speeds, worse than 2.4 one

Is it normal guys, one of the 5ghz is way worse than another in routers?

Thanks

I experienced this on the Linksys EA9200. My guess with the EA9200 3 antennas were external for one 5GHz radio and 3 were internal for the other 5GHz radio. But the AC5300 has all externals so I'm not sure. Also have you used inSSIDer to scan for wireless networks on the same channel? That slow 5GHz radio could be on a congested channel within your area.

No, did not tried inSSIDer because I do not have any non mobile device with a wifi adapter, my pc and the main computers are at cable, only cellphones, tablets, readers... Are using the bands

I'm so sad that this 5Ghz-2 us so poor

Anyone with the 5300 in hands can confirm this?

Are you testing same clients on both 5.1 and 5,2 ? ? I get the same speeds on 5.1 and .2 with my 3200

Yes

With my 3200 I got the same speeds as well, now with 5300 I'm having this issue
