    New Router Time

    Thanks for all the responses everyone. While the house is pretty much a rectangle we moved the router from the office (far corner on the first floor) to the second level almost in the middle of the house almost 2 years ago. That made a HUGE difference in the signal strength for the...

    New Router Time

    Well it looks like the time has come to find a new home router because my Asus N66U is starting do some weird stuff. I definitely would like to get an AC router, and I'm thinking about the TP Link Archer 5400. The reviews on it have been great so far and I'm sure it will be a huge upgrade over...

    Black Friday Upgrade

    Okay so I will only upgrade to the AC1900 router. Sounds like I need to take Netgear out of the equation so that leaves me with Asus and Linksys. I'm familiar with the Merlin software so maybe I should just stay with Asus. I've heard TP Link is a really good router too, but the software and...

    Black Friday Upgrade

    I'm currently running an Asus N66U router (N900) and with all of the black Friday sales I'm wondering if I should consider an upgrade. I know a lot of people really like Asus routers, but it seems like the best deal is on a netgear AC3200 (R8000 X8). So I guess my question is it time, and if...

    Asus N66U replacement - AC1900 or AC3200

    So it sounds like the Asus AC3200 is the big winner. I would go with a lesser model, but I'm guessing the prices will be the same so I might as well get the AC3200.

    Asus N66U replacement - AC1900 or AC3200

    I would definitely prefer to have a plug and play FW. That being said I wouldn't mind installing a 3rd party FW (Tomato or DD-WRT) if I knew it would be a one time investment that would go smoothly and work better over the long haul. I work 2 jobs and I don't need a third managing my network...

    Asus N66U replacement - AC1900 or AC3200

    Only the desktop, printer (forgot to mention) and OOMA device are hardwired. Everything else is wireless. I also have a powerline adapter that I can use to cover one of the blu-ray players. I have things wired to put an access point in my basement that could handle one of the smart TVs.

    Asus N66U replacement - AC1900 or AC3200

    I think the time has come to replace my Asus RT-N66U router. My local Fry's has some pretty good deal on a couple of routers I'm interested in, but don't know where the sweet spot is right now. I'm pretty much a plug and play user and really don't get into the settings other than factory...

    Wireless router choice

    My decisions are pretty much financially motivated. The R7800 hasn't had any good sales on it so I haven't considered it. I did just see that I can get a AC68U for $10 less so maybe I will switch to that one since it seems highly rated. I really need something pretty idiot proof since I don't...

    Wireless router choice

    I'm in the same dilemma and came to SNB experts for help. I purchased one of the Netgear Nighthawk X4 - AC2350 (R7500v2) for one fifty but I'm trying to decide if I want to keep it or find something different. I currently have a Asus RT-N66U (N900) router. I have a fairly large house (4800...
