What router would you have recommended instead with a budget of £50?

I switched from the 86 to the 68 because I was getting these "Deauthenticated because sending station is leaving (or has left)" drop-out/disconnects. The 68 had the exact same issues, then so did the 88 (which is the one currently in use). Beamforming is already disabled, I'll look for the...

Yes correct, sorry, I worded it badly, we know what it's to so to speak, just no idea how to turn it off, or connect to it or do anything with it

I didn't replace the AC86U thinking it was dying, I simply switched it over to the AC86U I had to see if it would have the same issues. I then took a punt on a £50 AC88U to test if that too would have the same issues. It seems unlikely that all 3 routers would have the exact same problem! The...

I'm not using backups/restoring from backups, I'm doing factory reset, then manually re-setting stuff up etc. I purchased a 10 year old router (AC88U) because it was like £50 and I can't afford the newer £200+ routers This post seems to have some info / the same problem as me: Seems to be...

Hi There, So, I've got some odd behaviour with my router and I can't figure out what the hell is happening!! I have the same problem whether I use my RT-AC86U, I then dug out an old RT-AC68U, and recently just purchased an RT-AC88U -- ONLY ONE IN USE AT ANY GIVEN TIME. It only has 2.4GHz...

Wasn't entirely sure under what category to put this! Anyways... So, brand new build house, stupid setup, I've already covered some of this in a topic previously, but todays question is this: I am with Sky as my ISP. I have the Sky SR203 (provided by Sky) and also an older ASUS RT-AC86U...

Not quite true, there's 21+ brand new properties in this £4.5m charity development, I only know the layout of 6 of them (5 others are the same as mine), the rest, going from what I've heard are in better positions. The next issue is I'm literally that 0.1% that it bothers, the other 99.99% here...

Complicated, but it's an Almshouse Property owned by local parish council. I'm not a tenant, I'm a beneficiary of the charity - and, well, yeah, it's super complicated. The builders of course don't give a ..... .

Rules are stricter here 😄 , at least in prison I could put a picture up on the wall haha

I'll give that a go perhaps. It's all part of the monthly payment I assume, every ISP here in the UK provides their own router as part of the contract you take out. There's no separate rental or whatever. They say the router is "free" but we all know it's basically paid for as part of the...

Just so we're not going round in circles, there is no carpet to run cable under, there's no floor boards to go under, I'm in a rented brand new build where I'm not so much as even allowed to put a single screw into anything, let alone try and dig anything up. The floor I believe is concrete...

As far as I know, the coax is fed directly to the big aerial on my roof, it's nothing to do with the ONT and not even remotely close to it Also, yeah, here in the UK it's different - there's no where to just walk into so far as I know. Not to mention, as I said, they won't swap the router...

Yes, they provided the Sky Hub *BUT* that keeps rebooting itself as mentioned in first post, and the customer service is rubbish, basically wanting me to disconnect all 3rd party devices for 2-3 weeks (since the reboot could happen anywhere from once a day, to once every 4 or 5 days) and blaming...

omg I'm so dumb! I got so focused on potentially needing to mesh it, and forgot the most obvious approach of using one router as basically a LAN router, and then having WiFi router elsewhere! Any recommendations for a good router with strong signal that's better than the RT-AC86U I'm using now...
