After a few days, i realise the current firmware is not ready yet. I am getting slower internet speed compared to my old D-Link DIR-865L. There are just some unknown issue when internet stops loading. My AC devices are not using AC band (on Tri-Band smart connect). WTFast is not working anymore. I cant login to configure now. This is getting me irritated.

Yes I am using media bridge - AC5300 with AC88U as bridge :)

What is the speed U get from the wired devices connected to the AC88U ?

I'm using AC3200 as router and AC68U as bridge. I'm getting 702Mbps (on AC68U WebUI) but getting 300+Mbps (upload and download) on speedtest.net

Yes, that I'm aware, cause AC5300 is working with AC87R as well.
I meant between 2x AC5300 as Media Bridge.

Not that i know of anyone in SG who use 2 x AC5300 as Media Bridge.

Why?
1. In media bridge mode, you lose all wireless capabilities for the bridged device, other than the use of 1 5GHz channel to connect to the main AC5300 router.
2. Smart Connect don't think can work in media bridge mode on the bridged device.
3. AC5300 has only 4 gBE ports.. makes a poor gBE switch than AC88U
4. Price of AC5300 >> AC88U and since both similar internal specs. No point getting a AC5300 as bridge.

JK, feel free to correct or add if i understand wrongly :)

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.

I want to buy but waiting for the right time when FW is stable. Don't think it is hardware issue.

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.

Dear kin830725,

Did you try installing the latest driver from Intel?

Best regard,
