New Around Here
Hello,
I would like to replace my Asus RT-AC66, primarily due to its shorter range than newer models (we struggle to have good coverage at the opposite end of our appartment)
Heavy transfers are wired (my PC, PS3 for DLNA playing), and our wifi devices are either N (printer, TV, A/V receive) or AC (iPhone 6), so can leverage the 5GHz band.
My ISP is Swisscom (Swiss based ISP, that has IPV6 enabled via 6rd), and I'm interested to make use of IPV6.
The router is connected to Swisscom modem and serves network to all other devices.
Which router would you recommend ?At the moment I'm considering the Asus, as I like that brand, it has MerlinWRT support which is great. D-Link is supported by DD-WRT, but it disables Beamforming so I would have to use the stock firmware, and the Netgear is not supported by any custom firmware (so stock firmware as well).
I value stability (I have to reboot the AC66 every month which is OK), long range on 5GHz band, and IPV6 support (the only future proofing I require)
