Wifi Issue - Can't Seem to Resolve - Nighthawk RAX35
Ok, so for clarification. I had an ASUS RT-68U. I've had it for years. Been using the custom Merlin firmware on it. I had recently purchased these dongles...
TP-Link AC1300 - USB 3.0 Mini WiFi Adapter | 2.4G/5G Dual Band Wireless Network Adapter for PC Desktop | MU-MIMO WiFi Dongle

They seemed to work great.
On the 13th I bought a Netgear Nighthawk. This one in particular;

So here is where I start having issues. I can't tell if it's the Nighthawk that is causing them or not. I have factory reset and tried both the latest firmware and factory firmware.
- The dongles are intermittent now. They never used to be. They either go really slow or completely cut out all together. If i reboot the router they work perfectly for a few minutes.
- Not ALL my wifi devices are having issues. My phone cannot connect well to the Nighthawk app (when running speed test through the app I get connection failed) however all my phones connected to the Nighthawk seem to be working over wifi just fine. As well as my two TVs.
- My two old N-type wifi dongle work just fine and have not had any of these issues.
Today is the last day I have to return this device to the store. So I want to do any setting changes and troubleshooting I can before I decide this product is just bunk.
