poor speed
I cant get my a6200 to connect at any other speed than 175mbps whilst connecting to a asus rt AC66u router, i have tried all the different netgear drivers, and 2 different laptops and a desktop, yet ...
Wait a little while, it will probably drop back down to 175Mbps.
I have tried an R7000, R6300v2 and an ASUS RT AC66R router and it always dropped from 866.7 to 175 after about an hour or two of the wireless not being used. Resetting the router, or simply logging into the router and going into the radio settings page and clicking "APPLY" would fix the problem for a while. Didn't have money to play with to try a different wireless AC adaptor. Returned all three routers and went back to my trusty WNDR4000.
Being it happened with three different routers now makes me thing the problem lies in the A6200 adaptor, unless these three routers share a common Broadcom chip and there is an issue that isn't being addressed.
