Hey! I've been doing my homework and I have a pretty clear view on the type of the router I'm looking for. I just need some help finding out which one that is!
I'm looking for a router that:
The ASUS RT-N66U looks like a pretty solid choice, but I was hoping to find something a bit cheaper. Up to $100 would be ideal. Thanks a lot!
EDIT: I've continued to look around and the Cisco Linksys E4200 or the Netgear WNDR4000 might be what I'm searching for. They both retail for $179 (which is actually the same as the ASUS RT-N66U), but I'll probably be able to get them for less on Amazon or eBay. Any suggestions?
I'm looking for a router that:
- can have another firmware installed on it (ideally both OpenWRT and Tomato; the latter only works on Broadcom processors).
- supports IPv6.
- has simultaneous dual band.
- has a pretty good range. I'm thinking I'll probably be better off with something that supports 802.11n so I can get a decent signal on all 4 floors of the house (about 60ft by 60 ft) and in the garden as well (an extra 60 ft range).
- possibly has at least 1 USB port so I can connect an external hard drive to it.
