I have problems with wifi settings! What settings do you use in wifi?

[darkknight74]

The biggest problem is that 5Ghz drops all the time! I use Merlin .43

Here's my settings:

Can you be more specific? How many devices, distance to router, how to recover, placement of router, etc.

I only wanna now if the settings is right, them I made?

As I don't speak your language, did you hide your ssid? This could give problems on the client side.

Whatever you put into those settings, it should all result in a stable connection, unless there is lots of interference, but I can't see that from your settings.

Don't force the mode to N.

Try setting a specific channel.

Why wouldn't you force N? I've used that since years back...

 

[darkknight74]

More tips!?

Because some devices don't like it.

Have you tried upgrading to .45 that may fix your problem for 5Ghz band


ASUS RT-AC66U F/W: 374.45

 

[darkknight74]

The problem for me with .45 was poorer wifi signal

What settings do you have in the pictures I present?

In your 2.4Ghz options set wireless mode to auto and let us know if that helps.

Also you should have your router as close to the center of your house as possible for best coverage.

One router on 5ghz is just not going to cut it in most environments.

I don't hide ssid!

Hiding your SSID is the single best way to secure your network from hackers. If you entered your SSID into your wireless clients correctly it should never give you problems.

Completely false... hiding your SSID is nothing for hackers.

Hi,
My suggestion, don't update f/w yet. Stay where you are. On 5GHz band set the mode to mixed. Set the channel(higher one like 149) set the b/w 20MHz. Once it
is stable, try to change one thing at a time to improve. If you keep changing multiple settings, won't know what is what. Remember logical approach, one thing at a time.

When I start unknown new box, I start with default setting first to see if every thing works, if it does, next step like updating f/w and so on. Don't try every thing altogether at once. IMHO, this is a good approach(method)

Are you trying to be sarcastic? I mean about the security part. If so, I couldn't tell...

Kinda matches the second line in your sig...

False.
See article in this link for one of the best write ups I have seen as to why hiding SSID does not provide security. As stated before, hiding SSID can also cause connectivity issues. Windows in particular does not really like the SSID to be hidden.
