So far so good since updating the firmware. Have yet to lag at all, and my speeds seem to have increased. Both my dad and I had our laptops double in speed out of nowhere.

Yeah that's kind of what I figured. My brother's girlfriend works for Best Buy though so we got it for $157 when it's for sale for $280.

Just upgraded to new firmware released three days ago. I'll report back when I have an accurate test result.

As far as I've read on Google, there's no difference between the RT-AC87R and RT-AC87U, other than one is only sold by Best Buy. I have no idea why, but that's all I've seen.

My brother is getting the same random lag I'm getting now. This router claimed to have one of the farthest ranges of any router available, and it is also the most expensive one in store ($280). Not sure why it would perform this way, when the Linksys WRT1900 worked fine besides downloads.

The version I have is a Best Buy exclusive I believe. Yep, it's beginning to lag with/without QoS settings. At least the other new one only lagged during downloads. Not sure where to go from here...

I seem to have eliminated both problems by adjusting the QoS settings to 90/23. No lag so far.

The router has been in the same spot for over 10 years in this house, and we've never had a problem until recently upgrading. Also, this is only on my end and not my brother's, whose room is down the hall from mine (roughly 15 feet or so). There's no reason to move the router to a new location...

As stated in my original post, the router is in the basement while our rooms are upstairs on the second floor of the house. And the router we have is good for up to 5,000 sq. ft., so I think we're good with that. I seem to be encountering another issue. While my brother was out for the day...

I seem to have fixed it. With the new router, it came with an Adaptive QoS feature that completely fixed the issues. My brother was downloading at 10.7mbps while I had only 40 ping in game! I'm hoping it stays this way and continues to work smoothly. I'll report back soon to ensure it does.

We decided to try a new router (ASUS AC2400) and am experiencing the same kind of issues. My brother is downloading at 14mbps while my ping in game rises to 500+. I tried disabling that Windows Media Player Network Sharing Service and it didn't change the outcome. I'm not sure what to do...

I haven't tried this, but I'm skeptical as to if that'll make a difference. It must be something do to with the router settings, as both my brother and I have the exact same adapter (returned the Netgear one as there was zero improvement) and I have issues while he doesn't. Considering we are in...

I don't think it has to do with the router, because both my dad and brother have zero issues if I were to download something. Their ping stays the same, while mine rises if they download. They are both connected via the 5.0GHz connection as well. Yes, I tried changing the adapter settings to...

I attempted everything and it still seems to have the same issue, regardless of the adapter. Both perform the same... and it's only on my end.

. That is what I see in the properties.
