    Recommended firmware for R7000

    Thanks for the lead. I'm going to give XVortex a try.

    Nighthawk X8- R8500 Tri Band Quad Stream WiFi Router

    I bought the R8500 specifically to see if it would have more range than my R7000. It didn't, so I took it back.

    Recommended firmware for R7000

    I'm using Advanced Tomato, which is Shibby's Tomato with a "user-friendly GUI." It's good. I like it better than DDWRT and the stock FW. https://advancedtomato.com/

    which netgear ac router is better for a very big house the nighthawk x6 or x8

    This is a pretty cool solution. I'm using something like it from TP-Link, but it's only 2.4Ghz. Once these are out for a bit and Netgear offers a separate head-end (rather than having to have a certain router), I'll be checking these out.

    which netgear ac router is better for a very big house the nighthawk x6 or x8

    My house is 3200 square feet and I currently have the R7000. I bought the R8500 hoping for better coverage but it was pretty much the same, so I took it back.

    DDWRT for RT-AC87 - You should seriously consider it

    I've tried it a few times as well. While I like it's level of sophistication and their development tempo, I thought it was too complex for my uses. While the Asus software can be pretty limited, it's easy to use and offers some good and simple tools. I'm settled on Merlin's version of the...

    TVS AMD based NAS and thoughts?

    I have a TVS-463 and it's excellent. Plenty of HP to do everything I want it to (except one thing) and I'm happy with it. The thing it can't do: I have a Windows 10 VM on it and when I turn on a VPN connection the throughput reduces to nothing. Encryption/decryption it seems really taxes the...

    More RT-AC87R issues...

    You also might want to try DD-WRT. ftp://ftp.dd-wrt.com/betas/2015/07-09-2015-r27506/asus-rt-ac87u/ It's not as simple as the stock Asus FW, but I've found my overall reliability to be better.

    DDWRT for RT-AC87 - You should seriously consider it

    I'm finding that 5ghz works better with DD-WRT than with any of the stock firmware. My 2.4ghz and 5ghz networks have the same SSID and password, so it allows the client to pick the best one for it. In my Family Room, the furthest room in my house from the router, my clients were consistently...
