Dear Vladimir,

Did you test the firmware that i posted?

Best regard,
JK

My RT-AC-5300 is completely dead now.

Even wired connection works only few minutes after reboot.

Any bros can share if the AC-5300 has better 2.4ghz range compared to the AC-3200? Thanks

did you enabled traffic analyzer?

 

[vladimir777]

did you enabled traffic analyzer?

No, it was basic setup - only wifi.

Went down to Sitex hoping to get this router but only to find it completely sold out at all outlets; even pre-order has ceased . There must be a very huge demand for it.

Guess I hv to try X8 instead.

are u able to do a hard reset and see if it starts up? else RMA 1-1 exchange

My feel: Both AC5300 and AC88U starts up faster and more stable than my old AC87U.

Time to join in the signal strength party

Measured using A8, which is known to be a wickedly good wifi receiver 2m away from mighty AC5300

First up 2.4G Channel 11


Next up 5G Channel 36


Lastly 5G Channel 149

wow your 5g-1 and 5g-2 very strong and my 2.4g same as u... mys both 5g very week set same channel as u and 2M away unblock using Note5

hmmm do anyone know change region on wireless will increase TX power?

According to posts (in Simplified Chinese) from this early adopter, the stock firmware allows users to switch "regulatory region".

http://www.chiphell.com/forum.php?mod=viewthread&tid=1414275&page=1#pid31304018

With different region setting, he found the below txpwr_target_max values:
US 24
Singapore 14.75
Asia, Australia, China, Europe, Korea, Russia 10.5*

Apparently he is only checking 2.4G txpwr values, might be indicative of what happening on 5GHz though. This perhaps explains why the other user saw poor 5GHz performance.

Seems the firmware at the moment is only polished for US.

Re

Aiya, my SC is on the 5GHz 2-band connection only and I have 2x5GHz devices and 3x2.4GHz active only

Don't know why all of them are connected to the 2.4GHz band. All are having the same SSID

Again? I think you need to read carefully what other forum members had advised you earlier.

Don't think increasing tx power will change performance much. After all, you need to increase received signals. For me, I changed the antenna and both tx and received signals improve tremendously.

what antenna you have changed to? all 8 antenna u have change?

 

[coolnhappy]

what antenna you have changed to? all 8 antenna u have change?

I just changed one. It is an extremely high gain antenna that I bought in CommuniAsia, from one of the Chinese booths. Normal Wifi antennas have a gain of about 2dBi but this one boasts of 14dBi. Just imagine 12dB improvement in gain! As of now, inSSIDer shows that my received signal is -26dBm.

i thot is super power supply antenna. wow that good. -29dbm is which band? how far from router?

5GHz band. About 1.5m from the router, direct line of sight.
