    Looking for new wifi ap/router

    As the title says but here some background. I currently have a Netgear R7000 which has good range but not enough and the 2.4GHz band is slooow. The R7000 needed restarting every few days now, so it was flashed to FreshTomato Version 2024.1 and so far, so good. I preferred the single SSID of the...

    Looking for a wifi router with failover and andriod phone support

    My old Asus rt-ac56u has passed on to the great beyond. I'd like to replace it with something faster with (hopefully) a much wider range.

    Help wanted selecting a reliable router.

    I've had bad luck with routers, having to replace them every 1-2 years and Linksys has been the worst of the brands. That said, I'm looking for a reliable wifi router. One that will last more than 3 years (hopefully more), NOT have to reboot frequently (hopefully never) and not drop the...
