    Help with selecting a router for my parents

    Yes the comcast gateway is bad all over the house. At this point any improvement would be a welcome change. Hmm that's a good idea. Sometime it sucks being family tech support. It seems like every conversation is "I just want it to work", yet they do stupid things. Then expect me to fix them...

    Help with selecting a router for my parents

    Definitely I don't know how but they still find ways to get sypware / adware and fake antivirus ugh.... My parents currently use the wifi in the comcast gateway (router / phone / modem / wifi) and they can't get solid performance . They have 50/10 mb internet and on the first floor they...

    Help with selecting a router for my parents

    Fair point. I think I was settling on the 68 series because it's affordable but is still relatively new. I keep trying to explain to anyone who will listen how bad the comcast gateways are. For anyone in more than a studio their wifi ability is just not even worth it. Also for anyone who may...

    Help with selecting a router for my parents

    Hi everyone, I'm looking for some advice to help improve my parents wifi and internet performance. They currently have Comcast 50/10 mb internet with the standard comcast Modem/ Router / wifi / gateway device and their internet throughput is honorable. They tend to be fairly light internet...

    RT-AC88U

    What was the button for. I see two check buttons one for firmware Version and one for Signature Version. Also dose anyone know if the check for firmware button actually works? Is just on a delay so you get a stable older firmware and not the newest? Or is it just borked?

    Why does Linksys Routers no longer have QoS?

    I'm a little jealous.lol I keep thinking about getting the comcast 250Mbps down / 25mbps up. But I just can't justify $150 a month plus tax just for internet.

    Is NAS the right way to go?

    Aww I see. Just to be clear dropbox still has photo functionality its main app. And from I can gather they might just merge it back with their main software. The personal cloud through NAS or Routers are interesting. But I'll be honest I don't have enough experience to know if there really as...

    Where did you here that from. They added Carousel just for pictures. If you mean a dedicated picture folder they no longer do that.

    ASUS RT-AC5300

    Well said. I didn't need anything more than a 68u/p. But I wanted to not have to upgrade for 5 or 6 years. I figure with Comcasts slow speed improvements, the number of wifi/wired clients I have and the slow adoption of faster wireless in phones tabets ecte. I should be good for some time. But...

    RT-AC88U

    It wouldn't surprise me if Asus while still supporting the 87u they are likely trying to get rid of all of them. Sense there such a mess.

    Is NAS the right way to go?

    No I agree, I just like the ability access your dropbox pretty much anywhere with internet. I know this can be promatic with some nas boxes.

    ASUS RT-AC5300

    I'm glad. I hate when people try to push something on people without the technical knowledge. I wish you could have pointed out a good option for them....
