10x for the confirmation and for the support! Appreciated!

Appreciate your reply. Thanks! After further digging I reached similar thoughts - stay away from dlink, they are cheaper for a reason ... u know :) For now I have my eyes on ASUS RT-AC1200G or G+ which should soon get dd-wrt support. What do you think about those? Both are broadcom-based...

Thanks! What I'm leaning towards, for the time being, is the ASUS RT-AC1200G or G+. https://www.asus.com/Networking/RT-AC1200G/specifications/ https://www.asus.com/Networking/RT-AC1200G-plus/specifications/ https://wikidevi.com/wiki/ASUS_RT-AC1200G Yep, it has Gigabit LAN ports, as well as many...

Yeah, 10x for the reply. Not gonna buy it, as it turned out. OK, 10x! Then ASUS are right in saying that using WEP or WPA-TKIP would drop the connection down to IEEE 802.11g 54Mbps. I really had no idea about that. Then it becomes a must to avoid those 2 and use WPA2-AES if you wanna squeeze...

So if I understand you correct you also confirm what ASUS's manuals say - that is, that for the full speed of wifi one needs use WPA2-AES and not WEP or WPA-TKIP, right?

PS Prolly good to mention this (if it still holds true, that is): The IEEE 802.11n/ac standard prohibits using High Throughput with WEP or WPA-TKIP as the unicast cipher. If you use these encryption methods, your data rate will drop to IEEE 802.11g 54Mbps connection. At least that is what...

It's indeed tough for me to know who's to trust. That's why I posted here cos I need more opinions from guys like the 2 of you so far, and hopefully others who post/discuss here. If I were only to trust the marketing staff of the vendors then they'll have me believe their stuff is the best, when...

Thanks for your reply. Appreciate your effort. I'm well aware of that link and of the fact only some channels are allowed in certain places. That is why I have such specific requirements as to the UNII channels! My source of info was actually this -...

Got any opinion about the ASUS RT-AC1200G or G+? And yeah ... it's 3-4 times more expensive than my initial plans of the 23$ aliexpress dir809 or the 30-odd$ 822 or whatever, but I guess I should be ok paying the 85$. Been thru too much pain with bad equipment so the cost of quality is actually...

Then this https://wikidevi.com/wiki/ASUS_RT-AC1200G or this https://wikidevi.com/wiki/ASUS_RT-AC1200GP would be it! Especially knowing that ASUS told me that the 1200G runs on the UNII1, UNII2a, and UNII2c. So, the price is reasonable. It is Broadcom, not Realtek, Ralink, Mediatek or...

Hi Pete Thank you for the reply. Appreciate your opinion! Well, this then now means one more variable to my pot of variables. The pot of variables now is: Dual band - 2.4+5ghz 5ghz - must be on N and preferably on AC also [but not a must] Chipset - Broadcom [perhaps] the 5ghz to include (for...

Hi guys So I'm contemplating buying either the dir 822 or the 823 from d-link... both fairly inexpensive, at least on aliexpress (at about 30 usd) and both AC1200 routers, which is good. I actually don't need them for their ac compliance but more for that fact they are cheap and transmit 5ghz...
