any wireless router recommendations?
My netgear r6300 is out of warranty and has recently been very flaky. Wireless clients are losing internet regularly and a few times I had to reflash the firmware after it was corrupted. I love the functionality of it and overall speed, but if I spend another $200 for the same model and it gets flaky after 1.5 years I'll be pissed.
my desired features:

Wireless routers are so hit and miss. I use to use a $30 unit and i would be able to play at around 25-30MS, but it would drop the signal more frequently than i'd like. I upgraded to some $175 router with all the bells and whistles. Now i play it at 75-80MS but it rarely drops the signal.
So weird. |
Current wifi technology sucks balls!!!!
I tried a couple of different routers and settled on.... http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00...?ie=UTF8&psc=1 It's OK but the signal strength is what's pissing me off. I decided to just use a powerline option to get a signal to my main floor. I also run a 75' cable to my PS4 now. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00...?ie=UTF8&psc=1 The other router that I tried was this one.... http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00...?ie=UTF8&psc=1 Signal strength wasn't nearly as good. **** WIFI!!!! |

KC Jones,
If you're interested in bleeding edge performance, you can read my reviews of various AC1900 routers here: http://www.chiefsplanet.com/BB/showthread.php?t=283889 Be warned, none of them are particularly stable with stock firmware. If you want detailed logs, you may want to look at the Netgear R7000 with DD-WRT. |
Great question. I'd love to know the opinion on this for someone who uses multiple OSs (Windows, Mac and Linux) of differing versions.

The RMerlin 3rd party firmware for the AC68U is built off of Asus stock firmware so it has the same look and feel but it isn't stock firmware by any means. It's pretty stable. On my Linksys WRT1900AC, it's rock solid stable unless I need to change a setting. Doing stuff in the GUI causes it to reboot on occasion but if you leave it alone, it runs just fine. |

I don't typically mess with them. I set them up and run them until I buy a new one. Range and throughput is all I'm concerned about. |
