    Right time for an upgrade?

    @Tech Junky I checked with my local provider this morning and it seems restocks for wired semi-pro routers are unlikely before mid summer (and even then they are not sure granted the tensions on the market). If I go modular I would rather go with Ubiquiti or Mikrotik because I see a lot of info...

    Right time for an upgrade?

    Thanks a lot for your recommendation. I was interested in that path originally - I was ready to stomach the rather daunting (for me) Mikrotik OS even as I wanted to learn a bit more about networking, and was interested in the possibility of getting rid of my ISP's modem. I was especially...

    Right time for an upgrade?

    Thanks for your recommendation. This one does not seem that easy to find though. I read the thread about RT-AX68U thank you - quite concerning. Would there be another alternative in the same price range? Thanks for your feedback. 2x4TB + 2x8TB in the NAS... I guess I could buy a PCIe 2,5Gb...

    Right time for an upgrade?

    Ok got it, so maybe not that catastrophic build quality-wise. I understand it's more about whats's needed in my environment so as @Tech9 demands I'll get into details. The connection is 400Mbps symmetric. The 3 most demanding wifi devices are phone, tablet, and laptop. My kid (2 users...

    Right time for an upgrade?

    @Tech9, I agree with you regarding bandwidth. I sometimes upload big files and that would be the real incentive for an upgrade, but I am really not sure the cost/benefit ratio is that interesting for now. I did not know about that and that is definitely something I will consider before buying a...

    It will be fondly remembered.

    Right time for an upgrade?

    Great food for thought, thank you everyone! Yes I admit it would probably be the most reasonable choice. The feedback I see on the GT-AX6000 seems quite promising though, and I know Eric has it so there is hope for Merlin support. I'm still tempted. I have to ponder on this. I considered it...

    Right time for an upgrade?

    Thanks for your answers guys. Yes, sorry. That was the one I was considering at first but availability is scarce where I live, and I could only find it at 300 euros. I saw the GT-AX6000 at 360 euros. From what I understand specs are a tad better (and maybe we can hope for Merlin support...

    Right time for an upgrade?

    Hi, I'm considering retiring my good old RT-N66U and am currently benchmarking the market. As you can see I'm not a compulsive buyer so something that will hopefully last quite some time would be cool. I currently have a 400mbps optical fiber internet access, 7 Wifi devices and 1 wired PC. Maybe...
