    Replace AC-3200 with?

    I'd recommend you RMA your 3200 before buying a new router. You had the wireless dropout issue since day 1, so it is most likely an hardware issue. I've never owned an Asus router but I'm planning to buy one to use with Merlin's firmware.

    Looking for Wireless Stress Test Cases

    I don't think mine counts as a stressful scenario, but here it goes 3 android phones (2 on 2.4 & 1 on 5) 2 tablets (2.4 & 5) 1 computer (wired) 1 laptop (2.4) All these devices belong to 3 people. I have a Netgear WNDR3400v3 running tomato. On a typical day/heavy day Both tablets will be...

    Recommendations on my Home Network

    Get the 68U. The 87u is not the most stable router in the world.

    Antenna upgrade/new router

    That's quite unfortunate. There is no aftermarket firmware for 850l either. Thank you sfx2000 for the insight. Going with the Archer C2 then. Half the price. I don't really mind 1:1 AC.

    Antenna upgrade/new router

    I would like to buy an Asus router. I've been using their motherboards for years. There only mid range Asus router that fits the budget is AC51u. It's an AC750 that costs 3.6k($55ish). Not the best value for money.

    Antenna upgrade/new router

    I don't need the range & horsepower of Ac56u. The second router will only cover that room. The initial budget for this project was $30 Need a robust dual band router around $50 USD (+-$10). Don't wanna spend more than that. Also, it would be nice to have ddwrt/tomato etc support. Not...

    Antenna upgrade/new router

    Thanks for all the help. Instead of spending $100 on a new router, I'm going to buy a new AP for the room. Running a cable to that room is going to be a nightmare. But this seems the best solution (correct me if I am wrong) Need recommendation for cheap & durable AP/router. I'd prefer it to be...

    Antenna upgrade/new router

    The mobile devices suffer the most. On the laptop I can still watch youtube with few hiccups. I don't need vertical range at all. I live in an apartment. The walls here are thick & full concrete. No drywall or wood walls. I think that reduces the range. I need the devices to be able to play...

    Antenna upgrade/new router

    I have a TP link WDR4300. http://www.amazon.com/TP-LINK-TL-ANT...s=Wifi+antenna Will adding 3 of the above antenna improve my range.? The router is placed in the center of the house. I'm mostly interested in stretching the 5Ghz range since the 2.4ghz band is pretty crowded here (I live in an...
