Same case for me. I had an AC88U. I got tired of it because the 5GHz 802.11ac radio seemed like it'd be forever broken in OSS firmwares. I felt asuswrt was pretty crappy too. I went ubiquiti. Their management is nice, and they actually seem interested in fixing bugs in their firmware.
- sokoloff 8y agoOn the AC66U, 5GHz radio seemed to work well and I got consistent 105-ish Mbps in the same room as the AP. (I'm not disputing your experience, but don't want other readers to conclude that 5GHz doesn't work on any of them.)
- discreditable 8y agoI could be wrong or things may have changed. I think the core issue was the 88u used a different broadcom wireless chipset which has very poor Linux support.
- bscphil 8y agoIs that the expected rate on an AC66U? I'm getting close to 300 Mbps real-world speeds in a very noisy environment on my Unifi lite.
- sokoloff 8y agoSorry. I certainly should have been clearer, especially with this crowd. That test was rate-limited by my cable modem. I was on a 100-down package at the time. I did not do a intra-house speed test.
