#ASUS USB AC56 DRIVERS 2016 DRIVER#
The Asus RT-AC66U is still running Merlin software 380.66.4 (latest) and is in the same position it always was (downstairs - several walls away).įirst thing I did was change the driver Win 10 was using for the Asus. So just a quick update.I decided to start messing about a bit with settings.always wanting more speed! After reading up on a few things I changed some settings that have definitely made the connection faster (and continues to be stable!). If anyone knows what the *cap settings are all about it would be interesting to know. Please feel free to use these settings and report back on how they have worked for you. No dropouts, connection issues or otherwise. Since making these changes the wifi connection has been rock stable. Uncheck: 'Allow the computer to turn off this device to save power' Start > Device Manager > Network Adapters > Asus USB-AC56 802.11ac wireless USB adapter - right click on this > Properties > Power Management VHT 2.4G - Disable (**This will disable connection at 802.11n - 2.4 Ghz - only use this if you are confident of a decent 5G signal)įinally I switched off power saving on the USB device:.StbcCap - VHT STBC TX/RX & HT STBC TX/RX.LdpcCap - VHT LDPC TX/RX & HT STBC TX/RX.Then I changed the following settings from default: Start > Device Manager > Network Adapters > Asus USB-AC56 802.11ac wireless USB adapter - right click on this > Properties > Advanced

Tweaks: In order to get stability in the system - despite the utility giving me full signal at both 5Ghz and 2.4Ghz I had to make the following changes: It gives real time connection speed with the router and search facility to see which networks in your area are using which channels. I also installed the asus utility found in the same place but this is not essential. interference from neighbours and home devices. *channels are always dependent on what is going on at a local level, e.g. I have setup the 2.4 Ghz and 5.0 Ghz wireless channels with different SSIDs.ĥ.0 Ghz channel: 44 (auto 20/40/80) (auto up or down extension) Router: I am using the latest Merlin software - As found here The dongle is connected directly to a USB 3.0 port (with latest mboard USB 3 drivers installed)
The computer is upstairs a fair distance away from the router with a direct line of sight passing through at least 2 interior walls and one brick wall. The router is connected to the master socket via an ADSL faceplate filter in the lounge. So I started looking for some tweaks and found some excellent ones that have made it very stable indeed, I thought they might be useful to someone on here. I have been using this dongle for the last few months in Win 10 and find that it loves to disconnect/reconnect, randomly drop out, switch from 5 Ghz to 2.4 Ghz etc.
