Recommended routers SkyTrak

[moadhia]

SkyTrak_Seth can you tell us why
Asus RT-AC68U AC1900 is not a recommended router for
Skytrak ? I have that router and obviously can't get SkyTrak to connect my PC when it's on the network. If I know the reason , I might be able to fix the issue on the router . Posting here so it can help others down the road.

Interesting. I have that same router and can connect fine to both my iPad and laptop, though I haven't used it with my laptop in a couple of weeks.

it has been posted before this router does not work. I have the 5300 from ASUS and works fine. I am not sure why they say it does not work, but why fight it...for 200 bucks just get a new one. the 5300 kicks butt.

I didn't do any of the router testing, but I'm trying to find out for you...

[SkyTrak_Seth]

Looking back at the router testing results sheets, for some reason that particular router was very slow to pass data...up to 20+ seconds at times. Not exactly sure what caused it.

I can't say anything about your particular router, but I've been using an ASUS RT-N66R (this one: http://amzn.to/2lCG8Wd) for the past year or two and it has always worked fantastic for me. I believe the RT-N66U and RT-N66R are the exact same routers, I just bought mine from Bestbuy and they carried the "R" model, I think it is a marketing thing.

Does anyone have any experience with the ASUS AC1750 (AC66U)? I need a new router and am not very happy with the netgear brand. My last two netgears have had drop issues.

Thanks for the help!

Just an update

I purchased the Linksys AC1900 (E7500). So far it is doing the job. My simulator is set up in a detached garage and I haven't had a drop or disconnect since hooking up the new router.

moadhia Did you ever get the Asus RT-AC68U working with your SkyTrak?

[moadhia]

No i couldn't. Ended up returning my SkyTrak and bought a gc2. The wifi on my SkyTrak was defective

[mikeingp]

Lol, that's an awesome way of problem solving! I'm jealous.

The unit was too buggy.. kept dropping wifi and it would hang for 30 seconds randomly and do nothing .. I wanted to like it but I am very happy with a gc2. More expensive but it holds it value so I am sure I will recoup 80% of the cost ..
