    Choosing new router

    I understand. The refurbished X4S on Amazon got 4.1 starts which is above 80% satisfied customers. The other 20% had bad luck with the refurbished unit.

    Choosing new router

    Uh, I thought it's a great deal but if that's what you say, I guess I'll pick the Asus. My budget was around 150-200$, the tp link fit it perfect but I was thinking about getting the best that will last for a few years so I can maybe pay a bit more than that, the Asus is 200$ on Amazon but there...

    Choosing new router

    How am I going to benefit from it ? Will I feel a huge difference with Merlin's firmware compared to the stock asus firmware ? I am gonna use just a few of the features of the Asus router, MU MIMO, QoS, and WTFast (I will give it a try and if it will not be good it will be disabled), other...

    Thank you so much for your reply. As mentioned before, I am not an expert and dont know how to do this, also I heared Asus has very good firmware so I am not sure if it is worth to go through the hassle of using alternative frimware, and it does not void warranty ? Out of the three the X4S...
