Hi,
I have around 4800 sq ft house (including 1200 sq ft unfinished basement). My Asus was in the basement with the modem and I was not able to get the range on the second floor. I contacted Asus and they mentioned to increase the signal power to 120 and said I should not be increasing more than that.
It improved the signal, but still not much. I have a HP 1810 24G switch also. I am having packet loss between 1% to 3% and my VOIP is not performing well because of this.
I am searching for a router with following features
1. Very good range
2. VOIP compatible
3. If possible, I should be able to name the reserved IP (DHCP page) for easier recognition. (I used to have DIR 655 and it was very easy to name the device when reserving the IPs, but I couldn't do it in asus 66u).
4. Port forwarding with masking ports ( I assume this will be available by default).
5. DMZ (I was thinking of using this with the VOIP device.)
Please help me find the router, I was looking at Netgear Nighthawk as well as Asus AC68u.
I do not know if putting the dd-wrt on any of these including Asus AC66u will give server better in my case?
