    Reviving RT-AC66U

    Job done, it worked :) Wifi networks on new router all now showing and connected to the 5Ghz now, panic over... until I get a nice BSOD probably :rolleyes:

    Reviving RT-AC66U

    I've just found the following: https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/support/articles/000054799/wireless.html References a Windows 7 driver for 7260 but link says for 7265, I'm now hunting for version 18.33.13.4 or newer as per the article which would seem to be: 04/29/2018 18.33.13.4...

    Reviving RT-AC66U

    Thanks Colin, it didn't come with the 7260, I swapped the original wifi adapter for it. I can't remember what the original one was.

    Reviving RT-AC66U

    Appreciate all the recommendations and advice. I managed to get a good deal on an RT-AX86U as they seemed to be the model favoured by all (and good 2nd hand resale value and demand as well if I didn't like it) All seemed good and well, my old devices are all working with it but then I found one...

    Temporary router - D-Link DWR-953 or Draytek Vigor 2762n?

    Forgot to say the other brand I had personal good experience with was Linksys. I have an old Linksys hooked up to my 16+ year old webcam as a wireless bridge on a timer plug. It has been flawless for many many years on DD-WRT. I think that's my main complication and reason for not using security...

    Temporary router - D-Link DWR-953 or Draytek Vigor 2762n?

    Thanks Colin, that frees up the port as well. Don't think I'd be using the 4G aspect of it.

    Temporary router - D-Link DWR-953 or Draytek Vigor 2762n?

    Yes I know, begging for trouble. A few legacy devices that need configuring for WPA but haven't got round to sort it yet.

    Temporary router - D-Link DWR-953 or Draytek Vigor 2762n?

    Sounds fair. I didn't know if one might be a renowned lemon with loads of issues so thought best to post out and see if anyone knows any major failings as may be a month or something and need it to be fairly reliable to work from home too. The wifi seems much the same on both I think.

    Temporary router - D-Link DWR-953 or Draytek Vigor 2762n?

    Hi all, Follow on from another recent thread where I intend to find a good value replacement for my failed Asus router, I have borrowed two routers from work for now as per title to tide me over but can't decide which to use. I have 2.4GHz and 5GHz Wifi devices and a number of wired devices...

    Reviving RT-AC66U

    Roughly 265 down and 25 up Just to connect in to my home network to manage internal devices as when I had my router internet management ports open it attracted some unwanted interest so trying to secure the network a bit. To do things like transfer data on the Synology, remotely log into my...

    Reviving RT-AC66U

    Thanks all, appreciate the advice as always. Food for thought and difficult decisions for the best to suit my needs so can see the value of returning it. So ultimately the two of favour will boil down to the AX86U and the AX68U so will use those as a shortlist (or the Archer also mentioned)...

    Reviving RT-AC66U

    I can also get an RT-AX68U for around £90?

    Reviving RT-AC66U

    Thanks for all the advice, sorry I missed the last few comments there. ok, so this morning I did try and buy a RT-AX86S which with discounts went down to £120 or thereabouts. I've seen that after Cyber Monday when the 86S was around £172 it has jumped up to be closer than the 86U prices so...
