Curious how far are you away from the router?

Previously you compared to Dlink 865 you were connected to 5G as well I suppose?

Can try setting the control channel to 36 for Band 1 and 149 for Band 2 manually and see what it does there for you. Also can consider trying 20/40/80 mhz channel bandwidth.

For me I am getting 780-1.3gbps connection speed (of cuz the real life speed differs) using DWA-192, 2 rooms away.

I am 1 room away. Previous i can get 650mbps with DIR-865L. Now i am stuck at 173.

Dear kin830725,

Did you try installing the latest driver from Intel?

Yes. Driver version 18.21.0.2

AC88U OR AC5300?

Hello! My household currently has ~12 devices connected to the router via WiFi. As such, what would be the recommended router for my type of household - the AC5300 OR AC88U? Would like a router that's a more futureproof solution as well. Thanks!

P.s - I also read the article on Hardwarezone whereby there's only 1 LED for all the LAN ports on the 5300. Would this pose a problem for trouble shooting if I only have 1 desktop that's connected via LAN?

what 12 devices you using? are they 2.4Ghz only devices (aka older device); 5Ghz (but lower speed) and 5Ghz capable of high speed?

Going from my experience of using AC5300:
1. You can choose to turn off Smart Connect, and manually assign your devices to the 3 SSID bands: 2.4Ghz; 5Ghz-1 (lower frequency range); 5Ghz-2 (top speed).
2. You can also choose to turn on Smart Connect to let the AC5300 decide, but warning, the Smart Connect is still not that Smart. Also, you need to wait for next firmware release.
3. I don't see 1 LAN LED having a big issue. You can isolate the equipment 1 by 1 for troubleshooting (max 4). If you have only 1 desktop connected, then surely no issue. You can 'see' the connection details from the desktop OS.

AC88U is a dual band. So if you have a lot of 5Ghz devices, they share the same and only 5Ghz channel.

For me, i deploy AC5300 as main router (and AP), and AC88U as media bridge :)

AC5300 router + AC88U bridge on MR 1Gbps Gamer Plan:

Bridge Performance (current official firmware):
Linked Speed = 1300Mbps (seem max here)
wired PC to the bridge: 700+Mbps down; 480+Mbps up (max on my MR)

Waiting for next firmware for improvement.

Hi,

May I know why do you need the bridge for? The AC5300 cannot gives 700 up and 400 down on wired connection?
