    Asus rt68 w merlin alternative

    Still we are agreed I was sold a pup and should move to a genuine product (have you never been conned with a clone on Ebay?). So I should move to Tomato, any suggestion for a budget N router from their compatibility list, many different makes to choose from bewildering for a noob

    TP-Link WR841n

    OK guys thnx 10^6 for the heads up, tpl for the recycle bin ok. What do you recommend as an alternative cheapo. I particularly what something suitable to operate RTSP IP security cameras. Big problem is reliably setting up static IP/and mac addresses that cant be over ridden by the DHCP. I...
