    Please advise which router?

    Dear Piotrek, has the unreliability problem with the AX86U been rectified in the RT-AX86U ‘Pro’? And is the RT-AX82U a good alternative?.

    Please advise which router?

    Dear Piotrek, Thank you for your response. Is the TP-Link Archer C7 with open-wrt firmware also a good choice ? ( in regards to open-wrt providing updated patches that TP Link doesn’t do anymore ).

    Please advise which router?

    Good question. The Linksys GUI was complicated and I don’t have AX clients. Have read on the forums that the RT-AC68U /66U isn’t supported anymore by Merlin - so security risks come to mind. The TP Link AX20 is now looking more attractive.

    Please advise which router?

    Your right, I’ll try to attach a long Ethernet cable from the router to the digital tv box. Is there a reliable Asus AC router only, that takes Merlin firmware, runs cool and that I could use to attach to the modem? 1) eg. RT-AC66U / 68U ( the throughput is more than enough for HD and I can...

    Please advise which router?

    eightiesscalling, thank you for the response. The location of the router and the rooms layout means I would have to run the cable in positions where it would end up damaged. The reason I wish to rely on older and cheaper tech is because I don’t have ax clients, only AC/N clients. Tech 9...

    Please advise which router?

    It still has a good reputation in regards to stable firmware and performance on the 2.4Ghz and 5Ghz networks. An all round good performer ( can also use in pure router mode). The ASUS’s are expensive (even second user). I know these have the BCM4366E chipset which depending on the firmware...

    Please advise which router?

    Guys I made up my mind not to get a WiFi 6 Router. I am interested in the best AC router only (not AX). I’ve managed to sell the Linksys on eBay. Please can you advise between the following two routers in regards to spec: 5Ghz capability/ streams/ chipset: 1) The TP Link VR2800 Router 2) The TP...

    Please advise which router?

    Guys, I have increased my budget to £80 ($95). ( The Linksys doesn’t have ax Wi-Fi six or WPA3 protocol ).

    Please advise which router?

    To be honest, the interface on the Linksys is a pain to navigate and play with. The TP-Link has a better, more simple interface.

    Please advise which router?

    Dear Colin, I want to use it in ‘router mode’ only. Yes your right, but if a router has more ‘streams’, it means the VR600 can handle more clients without reduced throughput available for each device ? ( in comparison to the AX20 where more clients would reduce throughput ?).

    Please advise which router?

    Tech Junky thank you for the response. Taking in to account that my laptops only have ‘ac’ adapters ( and not ‘ax’ ), should I prioritise the VR600 over the AX20? ( and theoretically get 1300Mbps without changing the adapters on the laptops from ‘ac’ to ‘ax’ (Wi-Fi 6).

    Please advise which router?

    Can someone explain the following: The TP Link VR600 can output 1300Mbps on the 5Ghz AC channel ( with WiFi 5), yet the TP Link AX20 ( with WiFi 6) can only output 1200Mbps ?. Does this mean the VR600 is better on the 5Ghz channel than the AX20 ?.

    Please advise which router?

    Dear OzarkEdge, Thanks for the response. The digital box is an android streaming box and is connected by Wi-Fi to the Linksys router. I cannot use an Ethernet cable as the rooms layout makes this impossible. The model of the Linksys router is the ‘Velop Triband AC2200’ and it’s a new router...

    Please advise which router?

    Dear Colleagues, I have had FTTP internet ( Fiber to the property) installed (in the UK), with a 150Mbps max package. The ISP has provided a separate modem and wireless router Linksys Velop Tri-band AC2200. All of the clients ( including the TV) have the old WPA2 encryption and wireless N...
