Reply To: Advice needed on what ASUS router (or other) Continuation of discussion from DSL-AX82U thread. Main points below: So my family have somehow been able to get along ok in a 3 story house with something as simple as…

3 things to note.

1: I think I found a really quick and dirty way to find out mpu to back up previous info. For some reason if you ping the Google DNS with specific flags it will tell you what the mpu is.

e.g.: ping -f -l 1464 8.8.8.8

This is on stock Asus firmware and no QoS. I only noticed this when I got another ping screenshot from someone on Tp-link device and noted the same 68 number.

2: Can you confirm the above? If at all possible do you then know someone on BT FTTP or similar to run the command and see what number they get? It would help me work out some theory.

3: Are there any “optimal” configurations for wireless range on these Asus routers? I have everything default and the range seems pretty strong that I can’t really complain but just wondering.
