According to Linus, the best way the orientate any antenna is by having them in 3 different position.

My AC86u is coming tomorrow. I hope it's better than the 5 year old AC66u I have.
My issue isn't so much the range as I've a second router as an access point. Rather it's the transfer speed between a NAS and my desktop.

Just got it.
The max speed so far is slower than the asus66u via LAN.
this is at default settings. Will go through the menu a bit more later to optimize it.

I'm getting 30-40% my Max download speed while the asus 66u can achieve 70-80% that speed.

Wifi Range is definitely better though.

I am getting 650-800mbit from my NAS.
The NAS aka running 2 4TB in raid 0.
But it's going through an access point which is a AC56U router.

My internet speed is low though. Speedtest shows a speed of 300mbps download but I'm expecting a higher speed. Upload seems ok at 400mbps. The asus 86u is directly connected to the modem. Connecting the pc directly to the modem gives me speeds of 800mbps down/ 400mbps up.

I'll enable jumbo packets when I get back home later. I heard that might help.
