I ordered from Shopee (Ookas) on 12.12 and received it yesterday. Currently on stock firmware. Stock FW has already Unifi setting and it was a 15-minute setting time. Currently still monitoring for any issues.

Moving from AC86U, I reduced my expectation but at the price i paid, I dont think I want to complain.

Sorry i mean how is tenda ac18 5ghz performance if i put it in living room and the reception strong enough for upstair or not

I live in a double storey semi detached house . Ac18 at the living area on the ground floor. The 2.4g is still receivable at the back room on the first floor but 5g is very weak that makes browsing internet almost impossible. Both 2.4 and 5 ghz are on high power setting.

This router doesn't have ipv6?

hmm, how about upstair? i facing the same problem with the stock unifi dlink dir842 router where 5ghz is very weak, while 2.4ghz the download speed is too low on my dell xps 13 laptop

There is no problem for 2.4g for the whole house albeit slow a bit depending on the location. Could it be your laptop having some problems with the wifi?

Last nite there was a bit crowd at the my house, just a small makan makan.

There were probably about 10 android devices + 5 IOS connected to the internet via the router wirelessly - mixture 2.4 & 5 g. 1 pc with Asus PCE-88 playing Fortnite (5 ghz), another pc with tp link T9e youtubing (2.4g) and a PS4 (Lan) playing Fifa 19.

When I had my AC86U, PCE-88 always connected to the router at least at 1.3G but now it is around 800m at best. The tp link also connected at lower speed. No changes were made on the setting at the client side.

However, no one complained of any lag. Yet, your case could be different from mine.

Finally flashed the AC18 to RT-AC68U_380.70_0-X7.9.

Speed test via LAN good can achieve UNIFI 800Mbps

But this is speedtest via 5G (My laptop using IntelĀ® Dual Band Wireless-AC 3165) Laptop directly near router

speedtest via 2.4G

It's horribly lower than stock TPlink AC1200 wifi performance.

Any tips to improve my wifi speeds? Thank you.

I tried to reflash the original firmware via the web gui but kept receiving error. Any particular procedure that i need to follow. I am currently on hgg firmware.

Can we upgrade from 380 to 384 using the existing router GUI? I mean just upload the *.bin file?
