Why is my ASUS RT-AC68U capping 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi speed?

"My ASUS RT-AC68U seems to be limiting the speed on 2.4 GHz — I can’t even get close to 100 Mbps"- Thats about right. Practical speeds on 2.4GHz are about 50ish Mbps using default settings. Want higher speeds? Use 5GHz.

Home network upgrade suggestions

It's probably best to reset both Asus routers and reconfigure them from scratch, just to ensure there aren't any conflicts with the new router's settings. You should be able to set them up as AiMesh AP mode - they'll still work together and have central management, but the routing stuff will all be

Talk me out of an Archer C7 (AC1750) for an IoT AP

Does sound like an AP issue. The ASUS RT-AC68U has bad 2.4 Ghz support on openwrt. DD-wrt probably has the newest drivers for a broadcom based board.

Post 1000mbit from ISP - how to squeeze the most out of it using XE75Pro?

What else is in front of the AC-68u? The ISP speeds you’re talking about (1,000 —> 1,200 Mbps) sound like DOCSIS cable speeds, so is there a cable modem (or ISP router in bridge mode) sitting in front? For simplicity, I will call this device a modem (even though it may be an ISP gateway device) sinc

MarinovWRT: OpenWRT facilitado para todos

Entendi, esse infelizmente não é suportado.... vou adicionar o suporte ao AC68U agora, mas não acho que compensa usar por enquanto só pra roteamento (eu foquei muito nas opções para wi-fi, não tem quase nada de configuração para roteamento, como abertura de portas e etc... vou adicionar no futuro).

Give me the good/bad/ugly on the Asus RT-BE86U

I replaced my ancient AC-68U with an ASUS RT-BE86U and in the mean time, sent it back. Either for repair or for a refund. For a device that is about 12 years newer, it was just awful. It was actually worse than the old Asus router: Many devices often lost the connection (tables, raspis, phones, tvs,

Sep 2025 NBN speed update

This is already an issue, just because a router is 1Gbit, doesnt mean its processor can handle that throughput, case in point my old Asus RT-AC68U. It is a gigabit router, but throughput with features turned on max out the CPU and you only get about 700mbit from the WAN. Lots of people with old jank

Reason why router needs more frequent rebooting for some devices to connect?

I have two RT-AC68u routers and I eventually had to auto schedule weekly reboots because of that. No matter how many updates Asus came out with, it never got better. I finally switched to opnsense for a router this year and use my AC68u in AP mode for wireless and now I don't have to do reboots. Eve

Rekomendasi Access Point WIFI 6

Thank sarannya gan, nanti sy compare sm yg Ruijie, klo selama ini puas sih pake unifi AC lite, update firmware jg sering, dan stabil, sebelumnya pakai Asus AC68U, klo pas loadnya banyak, latency nya jd gede.

Don't see a good reason to upgrade Asus RT-AC68U other than updates

Ive had one for a while too - until area offered 2Gig Fiber - so i needed to upgrade the router since ports were only 1gig (and everything else in the house also eneded refreshing to support to at least 2.5g) to achieve advertised speeds;So I ended up getting into pfsense on a minipc with dual SFP+
