EA-N66 - What am I doing wrong?!?!?

[LoneWolf3574]

I have setup, reset, flashed the firmware (1.0.1.6d), unplugged, disconnected and shutdown my entire network several times () and still can not get the speeds that I got with my Netgear WNDA3100v2 on my Netgear WNDR3700 router. Attached you will see my speeds with the EA-N66 first, followed by the WNDA3100v2. Everything has it's firmware updated to the latest OEM revision possible if it is able to be updated. Also, I am connected to my WNDR3700 via the 5Ghz and have even changed from channel 153 to 48 with no real change in the results.

Needless to say, this is driving me crazy. Not to mention the extreme difficulty I've had even getting back to the web browser interface (going via 10.0.1.1 route now). Any help would be greatly appreciated.

EDIT - I do have a ASUS RT-AC66U on the way that will be here later this week, will this help any?
EDIT - Also, I just connected via the 2.4Ghz (channel 1) and ran speedtest getting the following, much better but still not great, results - http://www.speedtest.net/result/2131073507.png

Bummer that I didn't get a response from anyone on this issue . The ASUS RT-AC66U arrived today, lots of settings to figure out and given enough time, I'll tweak it the way I want it. I've attached a speedtest from after the install for 5Ghz (what I want) and to me it looks like a compatibility issue with the WNDR3700 and EA-N66 5Ghz, but how to fix it is beyond me at this point. If I find anything, I'll try to keep these forums posted as to what the resolution is. While a great looking and operating wireless connection, it's just a plain shame that you have to buy an ASUS router just to get it to work right and then I'm not sure it the results will be similar with anything older than the ASUS RT-N66U.

I have no idea what you could be doing wrong. I had no issues setting up my EA-N66.

I just set up my EA-N66 up last night. For me it has worked out great so far. With nothing else connected to it at 5GHz I was able to max out my FiOS 150/65 connection from my laptop with the FiOS Broadband speed test.. IN normal use though I have five Dlink DAP1522 Bridges connected to it for ten IP cameras and my alarm system. When those are connected I got around 75 to 80Mb/s download speeds from my laptop.

I also had to try out different channels to max out my Throughput. Channel 40 is the only one that allowed me to max out my FiOS connection. And channel forty also gave me the highest signal strength at my WiFi Bridges and laptop.

But I am very pleased with the results. I used to have four Dlink DAp1522 APs(5Ghz or 2.4Ghz) and a Dlink DGL4500 router at 2.4Ghz. Now I've replaced those five APs with my RT-N56u router for 2.4Ghz and the EA-N66 at 5Ghz. And I can still get complete coverage with excellent signal strength and throughput.
