  1. had the same router for 4 years. cisco makes the shit. wont be upgrading.
  2. I just bought the Ubiquiti UAP-AC-HD Unifi AP, can't wait to hook it up
  3. we have that in our house and it works so well
  4. Have to agree, consumer stuff is crap, even into the $200 price point. I ended up going a different direction than buying a pre-packaged item. I bought a PC-Engines APU2, 2 WLAN cards (one does AC, one does N for 2.4Ghz) Ceiling mount antennas, and coax to hook it all up. Antennas aside (they cost about as much as the other hardware alone!) The setup was fairly cheap, runs Ubuntu, is future up-gradable (change out WLAN cards) and just works. It doesn't have a fancy GUI but I rarely was ever in a GUI after setting up the device. This was much like building your own router using pFsense or similar.
  5. I've purchased a ton of Ubiquiti hardware. I'm impressed with everything I've used. The multi-site feature and fantastic. Like this video stated, consumer grade wifi equipment is garbage. It is worth the money
  6. TP-LINK TL-WDR7500 V6.0 Archer is a very good router, i have it setup as an access point.
    only downside is that the firmware is in chinese but google translate can help you there .

  7. Have a similar ubiquiti access point in an apartment. Can get good wifi down the block and even out in our detached brick garage. Pretty overkill, but it's great.
  8. 2300 square foot in the UK is enormous, Canadians have it lucky.
  9. Wrt54g been using the same one forever and it's hard to beat the range
  10. oh god the poo has advanced to wireless!! were screwed!!
  11. Lost me at $300
  12. How's the range on it? If i install this upstairs, will i have very strong signal throughout my 2nd floor?

    Do i need to install one in the living room/kitchen as well? My router will be in the basement.
  13. i love my rt-n66u router. best router i have used by far.
  14. I can only wish I had the money to improve my wireless and get out of the poo, but alas I'm broke and jobless (but that may change in the future)

    My issue with WIFI lately is that I live in an apartment with concrete and metal walls and lots of wifi around me.
  15. I have never found anything better than a cable.May it be for wifi ,mouse and or keyboard.Its just not worth it to me and I deal with cords running through my roof room to room.I have simply given up years ago and im sure its the right choice for years to come.
  16. wendell master race
  17. can we up a update on the zero handoff?
  18. Please do a review oh the Google Wifi System.
  19. as long as it offers top of the line speed and range $300 is worth it.
