    sub$300 router for congested apartment

    I have two CyperPower CP1500PFCLCD's, one for my desktop PC and monitors. One for the router, modem, VoIP and wireless phone. Everyone should own a UPS.......

    So you want to build your own router...

    I was wondering about the Raspberry as a router. But no gigabit and the USB being 2.0 and sharing the ethernet seems like a hinderance. Might try it out as I have a spare board and gigabit switch.

    So you want to build your own router...

    I dig these dev boards. I got a few Rpi3's as security cameras. A network music player running Moode and a ODROID C2 running Kodi. This looks like an interesting project.

    Slow RT-AC66U in AP.

    The RT-AC66U is 6' from where I am sitting in a clear path and on the same level as my laptop. Moving the laptop closer, holding it in different positions might make a .5MB/s change...but that is it. Can't get it higher than 3' above the ground.....blame it on my wives fascination with...

    Slow RT-AC66U in AP.

    I have a TP-Link C2600 hooked to my modem and a RT-AC66U in AP mode hardwired in another room. In 2.4 and 5ghz on the Asus AP, wireless speeds max at 5-6MBs pulling files off a USB drive attached to the TP-Link. If I connect to the Asus AP direct to the LAN ports I can hit 60MBs down. If I...

    Linksys 1900Acs vs Netgear R7000

    I only used the stock FW on both, but a beta on the R7000. The R7000 was really stable and seemed to cover a wider area...less dead spots. I tried many routers and ended up with a RT-AC3200, it worked, for me better than the others. But in reality all the routers were so close that I think...

    I tried both and liked the R7000 better.

    Weird 2.4ghz behavior.

    I live in a house......but the street directly behind me is all apartments. I can see many AP's the closer I get to the back of my house. Also, I live in an old neighborhood where my neighbors are pretty close to each other. Less than 10' from wall to wall. This was never an issue until a few...

    Weird 2.4ghz behavior.

    I do have a LG, Smart TV....I might move that to wired. I already moved the Roku and Sonos to the wired lan. I also use an Arlo camera setup that has a 2.4ghz base station...but turned that off and it made zero difference.

    Weird 2.4ghz behavior.

    I bought a RT-AC3200 to replace my RT-AC66U in hopes of getting better 2.4ghz coverage. It does work better but I am still getting spotty 2.4 at times. Before I went to the trouble of running cable to the living room, I decided to try a powerline kit and set the RT-AC66U as an AP. The powerline...

    R7000 firmware questions

    Why does it take so long for Netgear to update their firmware? I set up a R7000 at my parents house, which is working fine on 1.0.4.30, but have been following R7000 firmware threads and it just seems that there is very little sense of urgency coming from the developers. BTW, NETGEAR Guy...

    Asus AC87u upgrading to AC3200

    No, different SSID's. I wanted to manually assign devices.

    Asus AC87u upgrading to AC3200

    I had the RT-AC87U and was having issues with the 5ghz band and returned it and bought the RT-AC3200. It ran great for a couple weeks and then I lost the 2ghz band and was getting constant error codes in the log. Turned out my Sonos Bridge that was wired was causing the errors. As soon as I got...

    What do these log entries mean?

    Yeah....I saw a thread that you replied to explaining this. Thanks!

    What do these log entries mean?

    Solved it.....after doing many searches this morning, it appears to be a Sonos issue. I pulled my Sonos off the wired network and went all wireless and I do not get the errors anymore. It was the Bridge that was wired and Connect that connected to the bridge.....been like that for six years and...

    What do these log entries mean?

    Using a RT-AC3600 on Merlin 380_58_0 Last night I lost the 2.4ghz, but the 5ghz was fine. I looked at the log and saw the below. I rebooted the router and 2.4ghz came back fine. This morning the same lines are in the log file. Just curious what this means. Apr 1 04:11:44 kernel: br0...

    Buying a router for better range. Need some suggestions.

    I had a RT-AC66U and had a dead area where 2.4 was really spotty and 5ghz was non existent. I bought a RT-AC87 but had issues with the 5ghz, but 2.4 was great. I returned it and got the RT-AC3200 on sale and it took care of my issues. My whole house now gets coverage on both bands. The RT-AC3200...

    Odd RT-AC3200 behavior.

    Running latest Merlin FW. When I look at the Network Map, it shows only 3 clients, then when I open the window showing the list....all the clients that I know are connected take a minute or so to populate the list. As long as I stay on the page they will show connected. If I log out of the...

    Advice on a new router.

    I ended up buying a RT-AC3200 from Frys on sale. It has great 2.4ghz coverage for our older laptops and covers the whole house....5ghz also reaches everywhere now. I do plan to run cat6 under the house from the computer room to the living room and use the RT-AC66U as an AP. But until then, the...

    Best AC router in terms of stable open firmware?

    I picked up a RT-AC3200 early last week at Fry's. They had a sale @ $179. Running latest Merlin and it has been very stable.
