Bar

Normal. As 5ghz can't penetrate walls very well.

ASUS RT-AC88U Firmware version 3.0.0.4.380.3941
Security Fixed
- Fixed XSS issue in WDS page. Special thanks for Jamie's contribution.
- Fixed LPR buffer overflow issue. Special thanks for GeekPwn contribution.
- Remoted DHCP information disclosure.

Bug Fixed
- Fixed smart sync GUI issue.
- Fixed reboot issue when using repeater mode.


Modifications
- Added bluetooth coexistence option in wireless--> professional.
Bluetooth audio transmission(A2DP) near router would interfere 2.4GHz Wi-Fi, enabling bluetooth coexistence can reduce the speed drop.
Known issue: Enabling this option would also reduce 2.4G maximum throughput a little, so the default value is disable.
- Modified failback behavior when only turn on dual wan failover.
- Modified the firmware upgrade page.

After upgraded to this version, user can see the newer firmware release note in the GUI and unnecessary to go to support site.

1st rule of IT, if it ain't broke, don't fix it

Upgraded to the new firmware and changed wifi setting to SMART CONNECT, so far so good.

Pls continue to monitor.. Usually wifi issues are intermittent and happen over time.. My ac88u wifi would stop working every few days, or once a week/fortnight previously. Downgraded back to 2345 firmware and it's been fine since

Using Merlin’s 380.61 and so far so good.

Anybody have issue with LAN using 3341?
My movies seems to stream with a lot of buffering via NAS on wired connection.
Didn't have such issue for the past 2 years, but now coming in here ssll and saw a lot of issue with v3341.
I even just updated to the latest but still encountered laggy playback.

Was wondering if this could be a firmware issue or hardware with ac88 or my nas.

My 3341 5Ghz starting to get wonky I think. Bo dai bo ji disconnect.

Such s****y firmware still can released to public, what are all the engineers in ASUS thinking??

5Ghz coverage is never as good as 2.4Ghz. This is common for all products. But of course there are other environment factors.

Releasing buggy firmwares is one thing, but waiting to fix all these bugs for a long time is unacceptable for me.

Netgear Nighthawk r7000 is on sale at $199. Will this be a better choice?

$199 is not a bad price! How's the performance?
