RT-AC68U

I got the Mikrotik HeX Refresh (no wifi) for router recently to use separate devices for routing and wireless. I set up my two asus ac66u_b1 to work in 'AP with AiMesh' (same hardware as ac68u). A week later, realised that one of the routers' wifi has failed. Then got the Microtik hAP ax s. Loving t

"My ASUS RT-AC68U seems to be limiting the speed on 2.4 GHz — I can’t even get close to 100 Mbps"- Thats about right. Practical speeds on 2.4GHz are about 50ish Mbps using default settings. Want higher speeds? Use 5GHz.

To make it simple, as she tells me, "I need to watch my Hallmark movies, use facebook on my ipad, and play sudoku on my phone." She has very few demands here. Her Netgear router was last updated in 2018, and is now long unsupported. Also, it is using the first iteration of 802.11ac. I just want to g

It's probably best to reset both Asus routers and reconfigure them from scratch, just to ensure there aren't any conflicts with the new router's settings. You should be able to set them up as AiMesh AP mode - they'll still work together and have central management, but the routing stuff will all be

Does sound like an AP issue. The ASUS RT-AC68U has bad 2.4 Ghz support on openwrt. DD-wrt probably has the newest drivers for a broadcom based board.

I replaced my ancient AC-68U with an ASUS RT-BE86U and in the mean time, sent it back. Either for repair or for a refund. For a device that is about 12 years newer, it was just awful. It was actually worse than the old Asus router: Many devices often lost the connection (tables, raspis, phones, tvs,

This is already an issue, just because a router is 1Gbit, doesnt mean its processor can handle that throughput, case in point my old Asus RT-AC68U. It is a gigabit router, but throughput with features turned on max out the CPU and you only get about 700mbit from the WAN. Lots of people with old jank

What else is in front of the AC-68u? The ISP speeds you’re talking about (1,000 —> 1,200 Mbps) sound like DOCSIS cable speeds, so is there a cable modem (or ISP router in bridge mode) sitting in front? For simplicity, I will call this device a modem (even though it may be an ISP gateway device) sinc

Ive had one for a while too - until area offered 2Gig Fiber - so i needed to upgrade the router since ports were only 1gig (and everything else in the house also eneded refreshing to support to at least 2.5g) to achieve advertised speeds;So I ended up getting into pfsense on a minipc with dual SFP+

if you have a lot of devices that sport WiFi 7 with a multigig ISP you could possibly hit.. 1200mbps on your WAN(internet)with line of sight/same room as router .. otherwise .. going through walls ....older WiFi cards in phones/laptops along with far distances..probably just as bad as WiFi 6. Person
