    What router features for densely populated area with lots of interference?

    Thanks for pointing this out; I didn't know about these extra channels. The TP-Link AX50 says it supports DFS too, so that and its $130 price continue to make it attractive. It might require switching to a Roku with an ethernet port, as Roku's website claims none of their devices supports...

    What router features for densely populated area with lots of interference?

    I don't have any concrete evidence router is the issue. I have a Netgear CM600 cable modem, DOCSIS 3.0 24x8 on Spectrum's 200/10 tier. On the cable modem's interface, the power levels look good, SNR is good, correctables/uncorrectables are fine. Nothing looks amiss. Locked onto 24...

    What router features for densely populated area with lots of interference?

    I'm looking for a router for use in a studio apartment in a densely populated high rise building, surrounded by other high rises, and adjacent to an NFL football stadium with many APs. I do try and use ethernet for as much as possible, but I need something for iPhone XS and iPad Air (3rd gen...

    VPNFilter Malware

    I made incorrect assumption RT-N66U was EOL, but its not on the list: https://www.asus.com/event/network/EOL-product/

    VPNFilter Malware

    I wonder about upgrading RT-N66U to another non-Asus firmware. I've heard about Tomato, DD-WRT but haven't looked into them. I'm guessing they are sufficiently different that the same vulnerabilities may not exist, but would replacing firmware clear out any potential infection. Lots of unknowns!

    Cleaning VPNFilter malware from Asus RT-N66U

    Doesn't appear there are any proposed remediation steps - latest firmware for RT-N66U may still be vulnerable.

    Cleaning VPNFilter malware from Asus RT-N66U

    Thanks. I did do a search first before posting - but my search was limited to Asus subforum by default it seems, I only got one thread back in search results.

    Cleaning VPNFilter malware from Asus RT-N66U

    My sister has an Asus RT-N66U router I'm sure hasn't had a firmware upgrade since I handed it down to her years ago. Anyone know of any official recommended steps to cleanup any malware from the router? Will a firmware update take care of it? Should I factory reset first? I was looking for...

    Poor 2.4Ghz performance w/new Archer C7 v4

    Thanks for the response! I have a 2nd gen 2013 Nexus 7 that I installed this app on. Its on a/b/g/n mixed mode. I'll change this, thanks for the suggestion. Its on 40Mhz with Auto channel selection, will also try changing this! I suspect it doesn't help that router is auto selecting a...

    Poor 2.4Ghz performance w/new Archer C7 v4

    My parents switched internet providers, from 18/2 service with AT&T to cheaper 100/10 service with Cox. Previously, AT&T provided all of the equipment. I gave my parents a 24x8 Netgear CM600 (I recently upgraded to a DOCSIS 3.1 modem) and bought them an TP-LINK Archer C7 v4 router for $65 on...

    [Solved] Orbi increases jitter

    I was seeing this Jitter concern with dslreports.com's tool as recently as Sunday, January 22nd. But for some reason, since the morning of Monday, January 23rd everything it working fine. Same firmware on Orbi and on Modem, not sure what happened. Since it could be anything between Orbi and...

    [Solved] Orbi increases jitter

    The Netgear CM600 is a vanilla Cable Modem; it's not doing any routing.
