TP-Link Archer VR900

It shat itself recently and needed a hard reset and several reboots to start working properly again. I should buy an el-cheapo backup router in case it happens again...

Can't use a router because PPoE. I learned that the hard way. Can't find any decent modems that support DDWRT.

For a brief while I daisy-chained my Linksys router to the stock modem, but it drastically reduced network latency and essentially halved download/upload speeds.

dell 760 running esxi running pFsense and pihole here.

these are perfect router boxes.

Cable modem plugged into a PC running pfSense. My old wireless router (some ancient Asus from 2007) is plugged into it too, in access-point-only mode.

The PC is a dual-core Pentium on an Asus ITX board, with an Intel dual-port NIC stuck into it. This is about 50 times more powerful than my router needs to be, but I used the board and CPU because I had them sitting around and the NIC because it was like $30 on ebay.

What is good about pfSense?

RT-N66U with DD-WRT. Opened it and inserted a microSD card into it and are using it as a mini-NAS as well as a wireless access point.

Mikrotik RB951G-2HND here.

It's a great router but a little confusing to configure. I'll probably switch to UniFi in the next year or two.

>>59382396
Scaleable - Its as powerful as the hardware its installed on and can be tailored to suit your needs.
Very Modular, you can add functionality as needed.
Secure - runs FreeBSD so its not full of holes.
Easy to Virtualize
Industry Standard - there are a wide range of discussion and support topics for pfSense
Sexy - as already discussed runs off freebsd.

>>59382323
this will waste a lot of power... Better get an OpenWrt router

>>59383536
so get a hardware firewall like an old watchguard xtm, load pf on the cf card and presto.

Can it QoS?

Tried shitton of routers and qos never works so I'm still on 12 years old wrt54gs running tomato. Have to run it at 250mhz and limit number of connections to 1k just to be able to shape 12/2 traffic.

>Secure - runs FreeBSD so its not full of holes.

You must be joking, right? FreeBSD has no exploit mitigations. Even MS Windows has had them for years.

Educate yourself. FreeBSD is not a secure OS.

how's the power usage on these?

>>59385166
~160-250 watts

Edgerouter + AP AC Pro.

Would also recommend Asus 66 series with 3x AC antennae; very good

>>59379865
Ubiquiti Edgerouter X and UAP-AC-LITE with a Raspberry Pi running the Unifi controller. I'm paying for 150Mb/s down and getting 180Mb/s, both wired and wireless. I've got VLANs and all that shit. This is seriously business-class hardware and it was cheap as shit.

>>59387895
Why the raspberry pi? the unifi controller doesn't need to be running 24/7, only for setup

>>59387920
I wanted to play around with a Raspberry Pi and I'm also used to the Aruba's we use at work where the web interface is always available. It's kind of annoying to have to pull out the Pi and hook it up when I want to make a configuration change.

>>59387950
Of course, I'm thinking about moving the Pi and using it to run Kodi for my HT, and I guess the web interface would still be available that way.

Does TP-Link offer the best routers? If not then who does?

You can use a router with a PPoe faggot,just ask for the credentials

You sure showed me.
There are more reasons in that article to go with OpenBSD than not. You can even read how butthurt DARPA got about its superior security.

>>59390428
keep on believing that open sores software is actually audited

>There are more reasons in that article to go with OpenBSD than not. You can even read how butthurt DARPA got about its superior security.
You didnt read the article did you? Or the emails?

>This is also probably the reason why you lost your DARPA funding, they more than likely caught wind of the fact that those backdoors were present and didn't want to create any derivative products based upon the same.

I can only assume you failed at replying. And actually the fans can be replaced with lower speed ones and it works fine. Its what I did. Its not silent but my workstation is louder.

Figured I'd ask here since related subject:
I know ethernet is better but anyone recommend any pci-e wifi cards? What do you use?

>I know ethernet is better but anyone recommend any pci-e wifi cards?
You can use Cisco Aironet Access Points in workgroup bridge mode as your "wifi card", and then just plug your ethernet cable from your PC in to them.

Rural areas force you to compromise. I would go with anything else if it was possible, but for now this has to do. 50 up, 20 down and no limitations, the latency is bad-ish though.
