Hello good sirs!

I remember seeing Merlin posting a set of commands that potentially could solve compatibility issues resulting in dropped wifi connection between Apple devices and ASUS routers. Searching for the line of commands I am not able to find them. Anyone have them lying around? Prepping my dads N66U with John's wonder tool and figured that I should probably get that in there before saving the settings/JFS.

Thanks a bunch.

I just posted a reply there but will paste it here, too, since you're asking about apple devices.

I've found that for 5ghz the setting "enable WMM no acknowledgement", only seen in the professional settings GUI when in N/AC mode, has a profound affect on apple devices. With this setting enabled, my apple devices don't go into low power mode and stay connected. They completely disconnect. Worse yet, this setting, while only visible in N/AC mode, affects all modes (e.g. auto, N only). This is with AC68 with merlin 378.54_1.
