Hi AsusMy,
I have two RT-AC68U configured in media bridge mode. Previously when I was using firmware version 3.0.0.4.374.5656 my media bridge link speed was 877Mbps. But after I upgraded to firmware version 3.0.0.4.376.1663 the speed dropped to 195Mbps. It is the same even after I factory reset both the routers. |

Hi ASUSmy,
My RT-AC87U router is causing fast battery drain on my Samsung Galaxy S6 on 5Ghz channel. 2.4Ghz is fine. Previously the same phone was connected to a RT-AC68U via 5Ghz and it didn't have this problem. Is there a fix for this? |

The RT-AC5300 is fantastic. I got 450Mbps actual throughput on 5Ghz. Should be able to achieve higher than that because my wireless client is only AC1300

QUOTE(rayz85 @ Sep 11 2018, 09:04 AM) I'm shopping for an Aimesh router (AC5300) as my spare RE-AC3200 do not support Aimesh. I'm using AC88U as the primary and looking for a place to put the AiMesh router so eliminate deadspot. I spoke to the salesman and they told me the following, wonder if it's true I have a RT-AC5300 as primary router and using RT-AC88U as a mesh node. No problems. Can get 952Mbps over the 5Ghz backhaul with iperf3. But I have found 1 problem with AiMesh is that it does not always use 5Ghz as the backhaul always. It depends what devices are connected to it. If only 2.4Ghz devices are connected to it, my RT-AC88U will use 2.4Ghz as the backhaul and slowing things down over the LAN ports. So I have disabled AiMesh and used Media Bridge instead. This way, I am always using the 5Ghz backhaul.1) AC88U would not work well with AiMesh as AiMesh uses second 5GHz as a backhaul. I'm currently using 5GHz for my home as well. (AC88U only have a single 5Ghz) 2) In order to know if i'll get full speed on my deadspot area, i need to configure Media Bridge connecting 5Ghz to my AiMesh router connecting to the primary router, if i can get full speed on my AiMesh router, then that's a good spot to put my AiMesh. How true is the above? The salesman doesnt look too convincing  |

QUOTE(rayz85 @ Sep 11 2018, 09:29 PM) Thanks for the reply bro. I need to use the AC88U as primary since I needed the first two port for my NAS link aggregation. Are u using the stock firmware or merlin? I was wondering if merlin has the tweak to force 5ghz Hi. I'm using the stock firmware. I believe it would work the other way too, if you are using the RT-AC88U as the primary router. I have not tried Merlin so I can't help you there. If you use Media Bridge mode on your AC5300, you could use one of the 5Ghz channels as backhaul and the other one to connect devices. I have not tried this but it could work. |
