Latency Spikes With wireless Media bridge

[compsmithit]

RT-AC68U - Both
Firmware Version:384.4_2

Im having a bit of an issue with media bridge using the latest stable builds. I have 2x - 68U's about 25ft appart, one in Media bridge mode, one in AP mode connected on the 5GHz band. Im getting high ping spikes every 7-10 seconds.

The 5GHz network is on channel 157 with the 20/40/80 Mhz width. I had also played with AI mesh on Asus Official firmware but latency on that was allover the place so I went back to Merlin.

The 2nd location is not able to have a wired backhaul. This is a recently reconfigured setup. Previously I had just one 68U in Media Bridge mode running legacy 380.69_2 connected to a TP Link Archer C9 running DD-WRT that I did not have these spikes. The C9 had to be removed after reboot issues crept up with DD-WRT. Before the reboot issues latency was stable on legacy firmware. I tried 384.4_2 but I remember all sorts of drop out issues. I figured purchasing another 68U and putting both on the latest stable would have a stable media bridge. Is there any recommendations on what I can try to stabilize the connection latency? I will try reverting both to a legacy firmware version if I cant get this worked out. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

To Update I downgraded to 380.70 which resolved the spikes. So there is a issue with Media Bridge with the latest builds

Try the official ASUS firmware and do the "AiMesh" thing.

Why didn't you buy a bridge , like the RP 68U , it works really well as a bridge , also as repeater or AP . Getting 450MBPS ON 2.4 and over 670MBPS on 5 , this at 40 ft distance with 3 walls between .
Just wish there was a Merlin FW for it .
