I've bricked one Asus RT-AC66U with DD-WRT going bonkers and made a bad purchase by buying a TP-Link Archer C7, which otherwise is excellent, except there's one big issue... No fricking jumbo frame support!
So I'm once again looking for a new cornerstone for my pretty complex LAN and WLAN setup. I have another AP (dual band b/g/n) at the other side of my appartment, but it's pretty irrelevant. Guest networking is done by a dedicated specialised AP (Intellinet GuestGate MK II).
What I have no need for...
- BitTorrent and other kiddie stuff.
- USB for printers and storage. I have a Xeon server with RAID 5 on-site for storage. Printing is done with a LAN printer.
- Fancy mydlink or similar management crap.
I can accept those in a product, but they shouldn't stop me from doing what I need to accomplish.
What I do need...
- WPA2 Enterprise (RADIUS) support.
- Proper routing performance.
- Gigabit WAN and Ethernet.
- Dual band Wi-Fi.
- Jumbo frames.
- IPv6.
- Manual NTP configuration.
- Proper daylight saving (i.e. last Sunday in March and October).
Way too many manuals don't tell you how DST is supported, not to mention if jumbo frames can be enabled for LAN.
Or maybe I should have an Ethernet router (like TP-Link or Cisco) and a second AP? I just don't want more device clutter as WAN is already by a separate ZyXEL VDSL2 modem and later on FTTH will be by a dedicated GPON CPE.
