Was thinking about buying a new router on prime day, sometimes

>>61315349
TP Link Archer C7 is the best deal for the money. If you don't care if your router is made of plastic, you literally can't go wrong with it.

>>61315349
Pfsense

Whatever is cheapest but still provide 867Mb/s AC wifi and gigabit ethernet.

anything that can install openwrt/ddwrt/tomato

What else would they be made out of retard

Who cares what it looks like? It goes in the network closet and doesn't get looked at until something breaks.

>>61317295
this
or LEDE

When I got my router about a year ago the cheapest with ac and gigabit Ethernet was a Dlink DIR-860L. It was less than $50 I believe and it's good all around except the range on the 5ghz band is just ok

>>61322265
what do you use for wifi with pfsense?

>not using pfsense on a thin client

Never going to make it, OP

>>61322292
cisco

Linksys WRT3200 or nothing boyo

https://smile.amazon.com/Qotom-Q190G4-Celeron-Processor-Barebone/dp/B019Z8T9J0/

Just add ram, ssd, wifi, and install PfSense.

There used to be a T-Mobile version of the Asus 1900 for 68$. Flash the firmware and you got the equivalent of a 120$ router.

C7 is good

Going to be getting a new router and modem. For router was thinking the Netgear Nighthawk AC2300 or the AC2600.

What's a good modem? I really don't know much about this stuff. I see that Amazon recommends the CM500 or CM700. Thoughts?

Sorry if I sound like a retard, just want opinions before purchasing.

MIMO. Is it a meme?


Also, thoughts on this gaming switch?

>>61329927
>MIMO. Is it a meme?
Are there multiple devices trying to transfer lots of data at the same time on your AP?

>>61329951
Yes, shared flat. 20 devices and 2 CCTV cameras running on a fucking ISP garbage router.

>>61329971
Then MIMO would probably help

>>61329927
I like it. Not because of the GAYMUR bullshit, but because these days it seems to be a rarity for consumer grade switches to put their power port on the same side of the device as the network ports, making them a cable management eyesore.

>>61329971
>>61330132
No it actually won't help unless all those devices specifically support MIMO as well.

>>61315349
Get something with ddwrt or openwrt. Everything else is shit.

I know some routers have good firmware that protects them, not sure how good though but if you're paranoid someone will "hack" you

Let me educate you, pajeet.
You can create your own router/firewall machine on any computer with more than 1 ethernet port, using the much more powerful x86 CPU you can create a home server and run several services such as seeding torrents, SMB, GIT, if you are concerned run it all through a VPN.

There's more than a few firewall/router distros, both linux based such as OpenWRT and Tomato, and FreeBSD ones
like pfSense.

A stronger machine can also allow you to high much higher bandwidth, and very consistent ones as well, even something as basic as a core 2 duo will blow the MIPS garbage that most routers today come with.

>>61315530
I have an Archer C7 with OpenWRT on it, it's fairly nice but it only has 128MB of RAM, so keep that in mind, also the 3 antenna ports are meme tier.

Anyone have any information on boosting antenna power? The high gain antennas are mostly a meme, I think I can get a better result from boosting the power to the antenna.

t. Totally not the FCC

I just got two Archer C7's for myself and my buddy, though I'm having to return his. He's caught the paranoia bug and assumes that router can be traced back to him via Amazon or some shizzle.

What do you chaps find the best router for LEDE is? I only recently found out it was a thing, does this mean OpenWRT is deprecated?

>>61333850
I thought Pfsense was OpenBSD?

>>61334569
Well your buddy isn't wrong there, in case of returns and to avoid item swapping they will have the MAC address/Device ID of that router associated with the purchase etc

>>61317192
>Whatever is cheapest but still provide 867Mb/s AC wifi and gigabit ethernet.
And that is complete bullshit because there are enough routers with that on the market but with a cpu so goddamn slow that it cannot route past about 100 Mbit to the interwebs. Even in the business sector.

Get CCNA/JNCIA and configure a real router faggot

>>61315349

I use an archer c2. Unfortunately no easy custom software available.
But it has enough power to route my 200 Mbit connection.

Carrier grade IX-routing equipment uses RISC for a reason. Stop posting and kys yourself

I have the ac68u t mobile version and that only gets me 350kbps. Bought the ac3100 hoping it gets me closer to my gigabit connection. You can buy it and use CC price protection to $69 at Walmart b&m.
