Best settings for Asus RT-AC66U for range for ipads and iphone 5
I recently bought the Asus AC66U, and have flashed it with the latest Merlin build. 3.0.0.4.376.49_5
I am in a 1400 sq ft rancher with only one other signal around me from my next door neighbour on 2.4Ghz. I thought I would get some good range with this router, but to my shock, it's not that noticeable compared to me E3200 running tomato.
I've even raised the router higher than the floor, almost on my desk, and it still doesn't extend or give me as much range as expected.
I've tried 2.4ghz and the 5ghz settings. I don't have AC on the iphone so i'm limited to N technology. it seems as though my settings, and range increased, when i selected 5Ghz network, N-only and 40 Mhz channel.
What are you other guys using for your 2.4 and 5Ghz settings?
I have an old Hp wireless printer so I kindda need the "G" wireless enabled.
Mine are:
2.4Ghz
Wireless Mode - Auto
Channel bandwidth - 20/40Mhz
Control Channel - Auto
Extension Channel - Auto
WPA2-personal
5Ghz
Wireless Mode - N only
Channel bandwidth - 40 Mhz
Control Channel - Auto
Extension Channel - Auto
WPA2-personal
