    Suggestions for a new wireless router?

    Suggestions for a new wireless router?

    Since we are extending our work from home until the end of 2021 we have been allocated up to $300 USD to purchase any home networking equipment needed. My networking setup at home is currently decent, no issues really to report, but I figured since my current router, an Asus RT-87U is EOL/EOS...

    AC87U as a switch

    Samsung galaxy S7 and RT-AC87U bandwidth issues.

    ASUS has locked down firmware?

    I upgraded my firmware today on the 87u and it seems ASUS has locked down the firmware per FCC regulations. I thought this was discussed but was not approved. Does anyone have any information on this?

    Samsung galaxy S7 and RT-AC87U bandwidth issues.

    That's weird. I have the same phone , router, and firmware and if I am in the same room I get full speed. Can you post your full settings under wireless advanced?
