Are the wireless drivers in build 270, 271 and 276 exactly identical?
It seems to me that build 271 was slightly worse on 5GHz then build 270.
The worser parts seems to be that 5Ghz sometimes simply quit, had to renew the wireless client of the PC to connect again.
Build 270 seems by far more stable.
I have not tried build 276 yet, actually there is no reason for me to try unless there are brilliant undocumented fixes in it.
 
i have found that 271 seems to have a slightly better throughput on 5ghz from the other end of my house, windows shows a connection speed of 162 to 243mbps on 271 while 276 has 121 to 162 mbps, this is the speed windows shows in the connection properties, my internet is a 76mbps connection and i get full speed on all firmware versions, i used merlins 270.26b for a while as well and it shows a connection speed the same as 276 asus fw so i have changed to 271 for a while to see how it works, if it shows any problems i will go back to merlins 270.26b as i like the extra stuff on that fw but overall 271 seems very slightly faster. the router is set on 5ghz on channel 36 and 40mhz width
