I switched back to 374.41 firmware, do to signal strength at long range on both bands being far better.
Is .41 better than .43?

In my testing, .41 is slightly better then .43. Give or take -3dbi.

KGB7 can you tell me if the wifi drivers used in .41 firmware is the same as the OLD wifi drivers Kong uses in his firmware?
I was just messing around a bit and suddenly a shirtload of extra settings appeared under wireless professional like beam forwarding or so and much much more and just as sudden these settings disappeared again.
I factory resetted but still these settings are gone but I think that when I refresh the page I can momentarily see them...

I was finishing the configuration of my RT-AC787R today turning on the saving of the traffic history and saw something that didn't look right. If you look below the TCP Timeout Established is set to a rather large value after flashing the 376.44 release. Based on my research this value is the default for most kernel's and would leave the connection that didn't receive a FIN in the state for 5 days. This would lead to running out of connections if you were using say a bittorrent client. I have since set it to 1200 just to match the default.
TCP connections limit:300000
TCP Timeout: Established: 432000 Default: 1200
If you need to ask.. wait.
Hi,
I am getting an older version string after the .44 release has been loaded and rebooted.
3.0.0.4.374.34_2
Tried downgrading to 374.43 and shows it correctly. Upgraded again to 44 and it shows 34

So far it looks like .43 is the best fw for RT-N66U
