    R7800 - Maxiumum Number of Reserved Addresses Reached

    Try ddwrt or openwrt? Or Get a pi4 with pi hole and use that as your dhcp? I use a pc with pfsense, and it avoids all issues as my routers just act as wifi aps.

    RT-AC66U can't handle my new 1 GIG DL cable. Recommend me a router:

    Ultimate is a pc running pfsense and use that said router with merlin wrt for wifi as an AP.

    router for home network update

    Mikrotik switch with 10gbe spfs. Or used ebay one (www.servethehome.com for more info). For a router, i would build my own pfsense box. Again, old pc or used one with intel lan cards. Using a ryzen 3200g with 16gb,120gb ssd, dual. Intel lan as my pfsense box. Got pi hole running on a pi 3.

    review of INTEL® WIRELESS-AC 9260/9560?

    hello, thinking of upgrading the less than spectacular intel 3168 dual band wifi in my laptop. i noticed the new generation of intel cards are out. https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/products/wireless/wireless-products/dual-band-wireless-ac-9560.html and...

    [SOLVED] I bought R7000 and ac68u. Which to return?

    Keep the r7000 and flash ddwrt. Better built router. Follow the guide on the ddwrt forum. I suggest the kong builds. I suggest adding a laptop cooler below it and running it off the USB on the back. There is a merlin Asus WRT port for it, but ddwrt is better in my opinion.

    pfsense 2.2 build with squid3 transparent proxy, etc

    can you do a pfsense 2.2 build article, and walk people through setting up squid 3 as a transparent proxy, snort, etc ? either on older hardware such as a core2 being recycled into a router, or newer low power hardware such as say an athlon 5350, etc.

    Buying Advice - Dual WAN Router

    build a pfsense box, see their forum for more info. an old athlon 64 or core 2 pc will do, you may just need to add some intel lan cards for the various interfaces.
