Hey guys, just replaced a Linksys EA9300 with an AX86U. Trying to find the best way to optimize this as I'm not really seeing that much performance difference than the 9300. I installed the latest Merlin firmware. Trying to figure out what other settings I should change. Do I enable MU-MIMO? Disable.DoS? Smart Connect is disabled and channels are set to auto. Any other suggestions?

EDIT:. I should mention I have the AX connected to an ARRIS SB8200 modem, with a 1Gb service. The router is on the main floor of a 3 level home. My PS5 on the same floor barely gets 36Mbps on the 5ghz ssid. I'm not very technical and wondering if I should just pay someone to come and optimize it for me.





Thanks

Use Dual Band SmartConnect, keep the rest of WIF at default except 2.4 GHz at 20 MHz Auto channel, 5GHz at 20,40,80,160 MHz Auto channel no DFS. Turn off WPS.
