Hello Tim and others involved in the reviews of routers and other devices and thanks for doing it.
Regarding routers I am pondering if it is possible to also mention how the web-interface
on the different routers behave and how responsive they are when changing pages and applying settings.
Got an R7000 and noticed that applying settings took a very long time to complete but also during this time
I could not access the internet and sometimes it would also hang.
So I think a responsive menu system that is fast and applies settings fast at least gives some indication
about what quality to expect from the manufacturer regarding programming practicies
Now that routers are used more as a nas also, is it possible to test how good the dlna upnp mechanisms work
for example if it has problems serving typical movie formats found on torrent sites etc and if a manufacturer supports a little more than others etc..
Maybe this is hard to test but if you have a collection of small movie clips you could test this when performing the storage test.
Thanks
