hi. I just bought this router few weeks ago for TM TP-link wifi router replacement. I recently got unifi turbo-ed 500mbps. When speedtest using TP-link ac1300 via LAN cable, max speed i can get is only ~200mbps. thankfully after change to rt-ac86u, my speedtest using LAN is reached 500mbps. however, I am faced with 2 problems:
1) for wifi 5G, max speed I can get is only ~200mbps. I even run the test near to router to reduce the interference, but the speed result is just the same. is there is any way to improve the wifi speed?
2) I have some problem with my unifi tv after changed to this router. unifi channel load normal at the start. no problem if switch to other channel at this time. but after watch for around 30 minutes, tried to switch to other channel, the new channel will got lag, sometime just heard the voice, no video, just blackscreen. the same happen to all channels. need to turn off stb for a while to start watch unifitv again.
at the beginning, I use the official ASUS firmware, after encounter the problems above, I flash merlin firmware. However, the same problem occurred. my head is buntu right now.

QUOTE(ppfoong @ Sep 16 2018, 09:53 PM) Try to turn off QoS. Also, go to System > Wireless Log to check your connected Rx/Tx speed. I had turned off QoS, but it just the same. tried iperf, max can get ~230Mbps. also tried move router to other area (without wan access) for wifi testing purpose, to avoid interference. but the result just the same. wireles log: CODE

QUOTE(ppfoong @ Sep 17 2018, 01:55 AM) If you are running iperf3 using laptop, try disable any firewall (including the one in your antivirus) on both server and client side. Also, try run iperf3 using the "-w 433M" option for your Intel wireless supporting 433 Mbps Tx/Rx rate. You might also want to try "-R" to reverse the server and client sending. Thanks. I really forgot about the firewall  . I will try tonight after the work. QUOTE(JayceOoi @ Sep 17 2018, 07:47 AM) Which wireless device are you using? Result is normal for 1x1 device. 2x2 can get around 330mbps for my case - Galaxy Note8 and OnePlus 5T. 3x3 even more. And of course 4x4 is the best.  I dont know how to check whether my devices support either 1x1, 2x2, or 3x3. Can you share how to check eh? btw, I run the test from different devices (Laptop with Intel® Dual Band Wireless-AC 3165; Xiaomi Mi A1, Ipad pro and Ipad Wifi, AFTV3. All give the same speed) This post has been edited by wakhaiha: Sep 17 2018, 08:39 AM |

Hi, currently I install entware with transmission torrent on my ac86u merlin firmware. May I know is it possible to install plex server on the same router? If yes, mind if you can guide me how. Btw, is it ok to run both plex server n torrent server in the same router?will it burden the router?
