Optimal 5ghz settings

Just wanted to share my 5ghz wifi settings for my AC56U. This seems to give me the best performance.

Many of these settings are on other Asus routers, so others may benefit from adjusting some of these settings.

First off, I only use 5ghz band and only have 2 wifi devices, a Laptop with an Intel AC7260 mini pcie card, and a Samsung Galaxy S3.

This is the AC56U with stock firmware 3.0.0.4.374_5656.

One thing to note, in previous firmware, having beamforming enabled, gave better performance than disabled. With .5656 (has a newer wifi driver) I found disabled gives better results.

I am seeing 50-65MB's downlink speeds and 30-40MB's uplink speeds (file transfer from wired desktop to wifi laptop). Close range (approx 10ft away).
