Thanks! I'll give it a try. I did read that forum post you provided previously when researching optimal settings for the wireless interfaces, but also compared against the documented basic and advanced settings from here:

https://wiki.dd-wrt.com/wiki/index.php/Basic_Wireless_Settings
https://wiki.dd-wrt.com/wiki/index.php/Advanced_wireless_settings

From the basic settings wiki page, it recommended starting with 90 for the ACK Timing, so that became my baseline. I bumped it up and will monitor over time before making other tweaks.

Cheers!

Wiki pages are a good reference to understand what options do and how they work, but they maybe not all be quite up to date.

Also https://wiki.dd-wrt.com/wiki/index.php/Basic_Wireless_Settings has a lot of Atheros stuff that doesn't apply.

ACK time by default is 500 and recommended is 1350 as per optimal setting, or more depending on coverage desired. Starting with less than default, 90 meters means very small area coverage and this wont be desired especially if there are neighboring APs on same channel that belong to someone else. So in that case you choose a less crowded channel/frequency, but generally you want more rather than less ACK timing...

Also as a note this build is already outdated, r49212 is the latest Wink

Good to know! I bumped up the ACK timing, so far so good! I'll re-review the forum post you linked previously as well pertaining to optimal/recommended settings against what I set to confirm other values.

Yeah I know I'm already behind on the builds; I'll update to latest soon. Figured I'd at least submit a report for my current version since I haven't seen anyone doing so for RT-AC5300 router lately, and I can get my habit of submitting reports going as well.

Cheers!

Always welcome these reports, Ive seen a few owners of that with varied issues, though I dont recall off the top of my head what they were.
