    Any thoughts on wireless repeater TP-Link RE450?

    Ok I took the plunge and bought a spanking new router, the TP-Link Archer C7. I was able to get one for a good price hence my decision Setting it up as an AP turned out to be quite a hassle. I could not configure the router when i did this set up; ONT (Optical Network Terminal) -> Nighthawk...

    I'll most likely settle for the Archer C5. It seems to be the cheapest amongst the 2. Anything I should know or look out for when setting up the C5 as an AP?

    Any thoughts on wireless routers to be used as an AP? Currently looking at the Asus AC56s, AC55UHP and TP-Link Archer C5. They should be priced pretty similarly where I stay.

    Undecided between the AC87U & X6 Nighthawk

    I am deciding between these 2 as I would be able to get a pretty good price for either. Based on user-experience, would anyone care to give their inputs? My apartment is around 120sqm and I plan to place this router in the living room. Not considering multiple APs at the moment. I have around...
