Looks like gay bullshit
I use pic related plus another newer Linksys as a network switch

>>59535481
the old WRT's are way too slow nowadays.

>>59535489
I don't use the wifi on them. The normal ethernet connection is fast enough

>>59535498
>"""""""fast""""""" 100mbit ethernet is fast enough

yeah it's fine if you live in a 3rd world country with sub 100mbps internet

I realize now I got the routers in my post switched. The old WRT is the switch while the newer WRT in pic related is the one I actually have as my router
The old WRT is just a network switch for a few older computers that don't support anything higher than 100mbps anyway

Anon, I,,,

My R700 screeches like a banshee when under load. Research tells me this is a defect common with them and it's fine as long as it's not irritating, which it isn't because it's in another room and I happened to hear it.

Think a capacitor is fucked or what?

ASUS WIFI Cellspot Router

http://www.tmonews.com/2016/09/t-mobile-asus-wi-fi-cellspot-router-59-promo-code/

Got it for cheap just $59 after my old Belkin died but of course they sold out right away, luckily I snagged one.

It's a fucking gem. It's quick and it has plenty of options without custom firmware and I feel that if I get around to getting some custom firmware on it this thing would be GOAT

>>59535950
Sounds like bad hardware support or maybe just you being retarded
I've ran dd-wrt for a few years now with no issues

>>59536194
Also you can get it here now

https://www.amazon.com/RT-AC68U-Wireless-AC1900-Dual-Band-Gigabit-Router/dp/B00FB45SI4/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1472824315&sr=8-1&keywords=asus+rtac68u

I would've paid the $150 for it it's so good

The only problem is that people seem to be having problems connecting USB 3.0 devices to it because they interfere with the signal

I haven't had a chance to connect any hard drive or flash drive to it but this could be a problem.

Maybe if I use an extension cable so the flash drive isn't close to the router and doesn't interfere?

>>59535937
>pfsense
My nigga

do people on /g/ really use their router as an access point aswell?

>>59536327
mmmm sometimes

>>59535417
Yes it is. It's secretly the last great router. Throw ddwrt Kong build on it. Configure correctly. Enjoy destroying the airwaves for your neighbors within at least a 1 block radius.

>>59535417

Some Buffalo 1750AC. It's uber comfy.

>>59536327
YES AND THERE'S NOTHING YOU CAN DO TO STOP ME

>>59536382

BRB ordering

>>59535417
yes I have this exact one, best Netgear router I have ever used. might need to pick up a switch though, using all the ethernet ports currently. never had issues with the wireless, and gaming (via ethernet of course) is excellent.

>>59536806
>might need to pick up a switch though


Don't

I heard Nintendo hasn't fixed a bunch of glitches

Maybe in a few months

Asus RT-AC56U. Has so many options that I can't ever hope to implement em all. Plus third party firmware if you don't care about disabling the AC bands.

Still needs renewal, free though.

I live in a house with concrete walls

I tried the gayming router meme but it has shit range after 10-12 meters

Am I looking at an enterprise solution?

Ubiquiti you dumbfucks

>>59538544
Ubiquiti is good bang/buck yeah.

Currently operating 8 Ubiquiti EdgeRouters, they can do pretty much anything in a simple setup
I would still run Juniper SRX300 routers if I had the money though

>>59539317

How are they even in business still? Their internal codebase was backdoored twice that we know of. And it still has a fuxored random number generator in it even today.

>>59535417
Netgear R7000 like OP, but running Advanced Tomato: https://advancedtomato.com/

Really happy with the performance, although update pipeline has died off REALLY hard in the last month or 3. Hoping it picks back up.

I have the Netgear D7000.

Wi-Fi sucks and it will always suck even harder for you because of the walls. Either put an enterprise AP in every room or run cables.

I keep hearing advanced tomato. What's so great about it? How does make a router better apart from the UI?

Surprised there isn't a consensus on a good router here. It used to be Asus rtn16(14¿) or something. Now it's just all over the place

>>59541683
Just use dd-wrt

>>59536747
Yep. I have 3 of them in my house I got off ebay for cheap. They literally just work. A1408 is the model to get.

>>59542018
Why? I read somewhere that it could also slowdown a router.

I'm using mikrotik RB951G-2HND and I have to say it works really well but good luck trying to figure shit out with all the outdated garbage tutorials. Trying to fucking port-forward is impossible for me for some fucking reason

>>59542046
WTF are you talking about?

>>59542058
its pretty easy

http://www.icafemenu.com/how-to-port-forward-in-mikrotik-router.htm

use this tutorial and use winbox, if you cant it with this tutorial + winbox you truly are retarded beyond saving, sorry

literally googled "mikrotik port forwarding" and found it right away, this is pretty much the same i do so i guarantee it works

>>59542089
I think the only thing I MAYBE missing is the interface gateway. That may work everything else I've already done. What was happening is instead of opening the ports it would close them. I couldn't use the fucking port I was trying to open.
