I also want to test the drivers on Linux to see if the issue remains there. A good portion of the device settings I have no idea what purpose they serve, I was copying this setup. The utility shows it's using 802.11ac at 80MHz. If you noticed 802.11n displayed in task manager for ASUS AC56, it's because Windows bugs out and doesn't like 802.11ac on external devices.

I'm not sure why this is, if anyone has any incite, would be greatly appreciated. The ASUS USB-AC56 is a dual-band 802.11ac Wi-Fi adapter with a USB 3.0 connection that brings high-performance wireless networking support to desktop and. The point is I can't even reach the non-boosted speed they advertise. You can see the on board of my laptop is a bit better than the ASUS, not really the point though. Consistency not so great either.ĪSUS advertises 867Mbps over the 5GHz band, here are the same tests but only about a foot away from the router. Here is the on board wireless of my laptop.Ī bit better in the download, didn't strike me as odd. Not terrible speeds, especially considering there's all sorts of crap in the ceiling/walls that would cause interference. Here is the ASUS wireless from downstairs transferring that same file. I started downstairs from the router to see if there was interference how much there was compared to sitting right next to the router. Here are the Ethernet connection graphs from transferring a 1GB file. Note: I only did most of these tests once, take them with a grain of salt.

Next select IPv4 settings and, under BSSID, input the MAC address of your access. The router used in testing is a CenturyLink C2100T with 802.11ac capabilities. Im trying to get this ASUS USB-AC56 adapter installed on Ubuntu 12.04.

The drive used in the server is a 250GB 7200RPM Western Digital that has a fresh install of Ubuntu 18.04 LTS server with virtually no space used. Apparently uses same chipset as the Asus adapter So that guide suggests to use either the proprietary edimax driver or the open source item also linked.

I decided to do some investigating because this wireless adapter seems cool and I like ASUS, but I've never used their wireless before.įor those curious I was using my Dell laptop for the testing, it has a M.2 NVMe SSD, no chance of a bottleneck with that. After configuring it I downloaded some files, I noticed the consistency wasn't any better, if not worse than my TP-Link which is 802.11n instead of 802.11ac which I had set specifically to use in device manager. I recently purchased an ASUS wireless adapter to replace my TP-Link wireless adapter. Out of the blue in 5 minutes to 2 hours, it will suddenly work again for a while (less than half a day usually)! I am completely at a loss.Before you read I apologize in advance for the mile long post, it's only so long because of the pictures. My connection intermittently drops for seemingly no reason, and my 5ghz band becomes unconnectable (2.4ghz still works). I have been having constant issues with my new USB wifi adapter (Asus AC56).
