I suspect something with your laptop. Can you try plug wired to the main router and see what speed you're getting?just restarted my router and able to get ~200mbps now with wifi 5ghz connection wondering if I can get more out on my speed on my wifi Next, connect back to 5g wifi of node. Sit in front of the node. Go to Start > View Network Connections > Double click on the wifi. Screenshot here and see. And then do a speedtest to see what speed are you getting. |

Below is my wifi speed on my laptop connected to dir-868l aimesh node in the same room which is connected 1gbps wired to my rt-ac68u router. Wondering if it not possible to get at least 400mbps on my 500mbps line?Next, connect back to 5g wifi of node. Sit in front of the node. Go to Start > View Network Connections > Double click on the wifi. Screenshot here and see. And then do a speedtest to see what speed are you getting. Will find time to find out the speed when plug wired to the main router but the last time I tried is around 400mbps. |

I think you should be.Will find time to find out the speed when plug wired to the main router but the last time I tried is around 400mbps. » Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... « Anyway, Intel AC 9560 specs is 2x2 streams, 5ghz up to 160mhz. DIR-868L and AC68U is 3x3 streams, 5ghz up to 80mhz. So theoretical max link rate is 867mbps. If you go to your WiFi status through the steps I mentioned before, you should see 866.7mbps. Usually real life best speeds is 60% of link rate. Lower if there's interference. I would say the speeds you're getting now is expected. What speeds are you getting if WiFi to AC68U main router?

Hi guys, what’s the best way to run wireguard?
Openvpn - since the router is configured as ac68u, no wifi it seems - also, is there mesh feature for freshtomato? This post has been edited by alucard89: Jul 16 2021, 07:41 PM |

If I need to flash to freshtomato Since router already configured to ac68u or ac66u Should I just go for the DIR 868L firmware or just the one for ac68u/ac66u? https://freshtomato.org/downloads/freshtoma.../2021.3/K26ARM/ |

Here is the link https://forum.lowyat.net/topic/4882964 You need to scroll down and find the last post. I hope this will help. I think it is best to flash the firmware using the paper clip method i.e. using a paper clip to press the hidden reset button and power-up to bring up the ASUS mini-web server. I suggest to clear the rom first before flashing the freshtomato firmware. Relevant links are available in the post. Good luck.

I mean it’s connected, but i’m still seeing our isp ip address Also, not really related to tomato Generally, how do i setup wps on asus firmware? Trying to setup printer to connect the router (only wps & wifi direct available and no lcd display) Do i just press wps button on the router for a few seconds and start led orange blinking? When that happens, how to cancel that if no other device is pairing? |

Check which model is your modem. Sounds like you're limited to 100mbps.Is there something i need to configure since you were able to reach +250mbps nearby the router |

QUOTE(fisherman10 @ Apr 2 2021, 08:12 PM) At present, DIR-868L can only be converted to RT-AC66U_B1 or to RT-AC68U. Hi, sorry to revive and old thread. Besides the problems mentioned in the opening post such as LAN/WAN ports rearranged and LED not working normally, 1) If converted to RT-AC66U_B1, everything works fine except 2.4G WiFi very slow 2) If converted to RT-AC68U, everything works fine except 2.4G WiFi very slow and WiFi is disabled/off after every restart. Here's the guide to fix both 2.4G WiFi speed and WiFi disabled after restart. It will be converted to AC68U. AC68U has slightly more info when viewing connected clients list compared to AC66U_B1. Only do this after you're already fully converted and running Asus firmware. 1) Download attached file. newcfe68u.bin and newcfe66ub1.bin and mtd-write and CFEEdit 2) Use CFEEdit and change 3 macaddresses and WPS Pin according to your own router in the CFE file. 3) Turn on the SSH from router page. Administration > System > Enable SSH > Apply 4) Open WINSCP. Choose SCP protocol, enter router IP address, username and password 5) Now decide if you want your router to be Asus AC68U or AC66U_B1. Drag and drop both newcfe68u.bin OR newcfe66ub1.bin together with mtd-write file to the right side of WINSCP 6) Use Putty and connect to router. Enter username and password 7) Enter these commands in Putty to flash new CFE CODE chmod u+x mtd-write ./mtd-write newcfe68u.bin boot OR ./mtd-write newcfe66ub1.bin boot 8) Enter this command into Putty to clear NVRAM and reboot CODE nvram erase reboot And it should startup as AC68U or AC66U_B1. does anyone have instructions on how to reverse this 2.4Ghz-fix ? i.e what lines of code to change on the cfe.bin file so that i can flash the cfe to as it was before the fix after i applied the 2.4ghz-fix , my 5ghz slowed down some 100mbps, so i rather stick with the slow 2.4ghz. TIA ! |

If anyone has the cfe file referenced in the guide - CFE_868L_melin384.bin could you upload it somewhere? All links I can find are dead.
