    In need of a new router - but lost between models/tech/price

    I am a pretty technical dude and bringing a nuclear weapon to a gun fight is my style too, if the problem persists and i spent more time trying to solve something with inadequate measures (lol). However, as technical people, we need to solve problems ourselves, hence me being here in the first...

    In need of a new router - but lost between models/tech/price

    I came across this article as i was searching generally about DFS to see how it is and how it works. To be honest it sounds a little bit like the problem i am in right now, which is a crappy router, trying to channel hop, to keep the wifi network on a 'least used' channel (which does not happen...

    In need of a new router - but lost between models/tech/price

    Excellent replies all, thanks so much. I have indeed thought about checking for DFS support on devices i am using and also using a device to scan for DFS usage and how free they are. I know that i can use them in London and the UK, so it is all down to testing really. At the end of the day, if i...

    In need of a new router - but lost between models/tech/price

    Thanks for the replies, the truth is that i looked at the AC86U too but nowhere in the ASUS website does it state that it has DFS support? Also, it looks like a smaller router with fewer antennas than some on my list. What makes it better? Or is the number of antennas an illusion?

    In need of a new router - but lost between models/tech/price

    Hi all, first post here, although i have been reading a lot before! I live in the UK in one of the most dense areas of London (Westminster - if not THE most dense one), so my wireless router that is supplied by my provider is failing miserable to rise above all of the 10s of routers i can see...
