I wonder what I encounter below is unusual or what?

Was using M1 supplied RT-AC1200G+ & could get Network speed at 866Mbps from my phone S7 5Ghz band.

Bought RT-AC88U expecting better speed but was dismal to find only 433Mbps with the same phone S7 5Ghz band.

Both routers setting are at default & with firmware latest. Cable from WAN is cat7. Measuring distance & time all same.

My M1 is FIBRE 1Gbps plan.

What could be the problems? Another dud AC88U?

Hope some seniors here can enlighten. Thanks

Finally, got a 1 to 1 exchange from ASUS. But issue still the same. Must be due to chipset incompatible.
In ASUS center the Motorola phone was able to get 866Mbps link speed. Came home tried with Huawei P20 also get 866Mbps. But not my S7

maybe need to sell off this 'new' AC88U !
Anyone here interested?

This case is solved & closed.
Just want to say thanks to Avertek counter staff for their professional service.

I have requested to test my phone on a older model AC66, he promptly went in to check stock availability. Out he comes with it ! Impressed.
Requested too for him to show me the LAN speed of my AC88 & this too ,he did.

Thank you & sorry forgotten you name. A Chinese chap with spec.

any difference? is it very hard to flash it?

As i said i never use official FW before so not sure got any differences. Just perform FW upgrade like how u do for official FW upgrade in router page(192.168.xxx). If u upgrade to Merlin FW the very first time, it is recommended to restore your router to default after the upgrade and reconfigure the settings again
