    Input Requested: Router for Surveillance

    Greetings everyone! I have a question I hope you can help me with. I haven't bought a new router since my ASUS 87's in 2015 so I'm more than a little rusty, ok — rusted over. I need to install some cameras to watch the outside of a small building in a shopping center so if the building gets hit...

    Test wireless connection reliability, e.g. packet drops

    What tools do people use to test the longer-term (hours) reliability of their high-bandwidth wireless connections through a router? I'm looking for something a little more sophisticated than "copy a large file" or "watch Netflix". I know about iperf3 for measuring throughput, but I would like...
