Hey guys,
I have a Wave 1 AC router, the Asus RT-AC3200 running Merlin firmware.
I have observed that on one of the 5GHz (5G2) radios I can only achieve 20MHz, whereas on the other (5G1) I can achieve 40MHz.
The difference is I only connect my MacBook Pro 3x3 and Apple TV 4th Gen and 4K to my (5G1) because I want to keep it fast.
I'm assuming that because the Apple TV only do 40MHz its not allowing my MacBook to establish a 80MHz link on 5G1?
And on 5G2 it must have devices that are only capable of 20MHz AC so it slows the rest down.
Which leads me to my final question, does the slowest client limit the rest?
Does Wave 2 AC address this?
