Usually I just put the antennas about 45 degrees to each other like mentioned in the manual. Orientation affects the polarisation of the electromagnetic waves. When the waves are same polarisation direction as the antennas in the phone or laptop then the signal is optimal. Orientation will also affect the radiation pattern of the antenna and may change coverage. With a MIMO system, the multiple antennas should not be in the same orientation for optimal performance. So just put the antenna like the image below and you should get optimum MIMO/beamforming performance. Do refer to the manual/user guide recommendations incase some models are different due to a 4th built-in antenna.

I'm happy with the performance, so I didn't bother about this since I got my unit for more than a year now. Gotta try to adjust the antennas tonight and see whether it makes any difference

I have an Asus AC68 (latest firmware) and want to link a printer and having this problem.
1. I connect printer to Router via USB.
2. I log into router 192.168.1.1
3. Go to USB application, download the file. But when I want to run it, I keep getting this error. "to continue installation, you have to reboot your pc to complete the uninstall process first".

What uninstall is that about? I have reboot the pc and router numerous times and still same problem.

Anyone having any idea what went wrong? Thanks

I suspect it is the drivers. I also downloaded the latest drivers from Asus website which is older than the one I got from Intel website and the results were the same. The TX_RATE and RX_RATE were 866Mbps before and during testing.

This PCE-AX58BT card was to replace an older Asus PCE-AC56. I did not have any issue with the older PCE-AC56 card when I add it to the Hyper-V virtual switch. If there is no solution from ASUSmy I suppose I have to plug back the older PCE-AC56 and source a USB bluetooth V4 or V5.

And another negative for this card is that you will need a free USB header on your motherboard to plug in for the bluetooth to work.

Hi touristking,

You may try use the step given on the link below to do the pairing.

Thank you

Hi MC_Amig0,

The router LAN are able to support 800Mbps, as for the WiFi it is around 500Mbps(depending the client you used).

Thank you

Hi jbmsia,

I will need to check with RD and get to you on this as so far we didn't receive any feedback on this problem you faced and it is related to Intel driver and Windows.

Will let you know when extra information are needed.

Thank you

ASUSmy Thanks!

Hi can say that most of the asus router LAN (newer one) can support 800mbs?

Anyway.. thanks

Hello, I am from Europe Romania, and have an older ASUS model (RT-AC55U), which worked more than fine, even on 5GHZ (with its limitations, of course).

The thing is i upgraded (i don't know why to be honest) to the latest firmware version 3.0.0.4.382_51812 and then the LAN speed downgraded from 8-900 Mbps (we have real high speed internet here in Romania, and i have the 1 Gbps connection) to 300-320 Mbps. If I connect the cable directly to the huawei provider's I Have 900 Mbps, but if I connect it back to the Asus router, I can't seem to get more than 320 Mbps.

Again, last week everything was working normally.

I have looked through the settings, I have tried with the Jumbo Frames and NAT acceleration on AUTO, QOS is off...i don't know that to do anymore, so please if you can help me out with any suggestions ?

Thank you in advance! Alex

I’m on 800mbps internet here in Malaysia & I get 820-850mbps on speed test via lan. Weird how you’re on 1gbps & receiving 800 on LAN.

If you are reffering only to 800 - 820 Mbps, i think it is a limitation from the ISP, sometimes 900 Mbps, but never 1 Gbps, anyway if you are talking about this, well then this is not the problem I am complaining about, as I am OK with 800-820Mpbs and not with 300-320-maybe a max of 330 Mbps

Maybe it’s the firmware. Have you tried factory resetting the router?

I was thinking maybe trying a different firmware (al older one) but couldn't find any for sure, fortunately

Hi Merlinboy,

Can you try to check

1) Factory reset and redo the setup
2) QoS is turn off
3) The NAT Acceleration is enabled
3) Downgrade to older firmware version

I can see that there is older firmware version from the link below.

Is there any way to bypass the configuration wizard for a new Asus RT-AC66U_B1 router or a just reset to factory default Asus router?

Hi jbmsia,

You can do the setup even without the cable plug in to the WAN port.

You will be in the main page after the setup.

Resetting the router will always bring you to the setup wizard.

Thank you
