I have iptv app and home camera app on my phone there wouldn't be any issues through this Asus router or home hub 3 would there?

Cheers

Nope, the other thing you can think of doing as well is setting up some sort of addressing scheme on your network so you know which device is which just by looking at the ip address. The router doesnt have to be 192.168.1.1 for example and you can assign addresses to all your known devices such as pcs, printers, phones, tv.

Thank you so much if you had the ££££ would you pay the £50
Extra mate for the better router?

Re: Best Router to Use with Home Hub 3
 

I would have done if i could. I did a lot of reading at the time and that was pretty much the best router money could buy but i wanted a new router, 3 hdds and a graphics card so i had to make some tough decisions. I still love my ac68u though.

Re: Best Router to Use with Home Hub 3
 

Ok brilliant thanks once again so the one you would have got will definitely be easy to setup and fully compatiablr via home hub 3?

Re: Best Router to Use with Home Hub 3
 

ya, although it isn't so much as what is compatible with the shub 3, it is what the shub is compatible with. You can be 99.9% sure that if you ever have a networking issue it is the shub that is the problem but that is more to do with general stability and quality rather than compatibility problems. There are international standards it has to comply with to guarantee it will work with other devices but the whole point of putting it in modem mode is that you are getting it to do as little as possible, not getting it to do any real networking stuff and leaving it all to a proper router.

Sound advice ����

I knew this was the place to ask and get good feedback

Re: Best Router to Use with Home Hub 3
 

tbh it is just as refreshing for us to see people actually take the advice. Many people come on moaning about the shub and asking for advice and when I say the only solution is to buy a proper router they aren't interested. People want magic for free.

Re: Best Router to Use with Home Hub 3

To create an imesh you need two ASUS routers that support it. The AC88U definitely does, but you would need another. I was looking into this, but none of the routers with this ability come cheap.

The cheaper option, if you still haven't got good coverage after following our earlier advice, is to invest in a TP Link as described above to cover your not spots.

Thanks rough beast will do

If you do go with the asus router route I would recommend using the merlin firmware.

Re: Best Router to Use with Home Hub 3
 

Hi thanks but going to literally keep it as simple as possible with standard firmware I have no expertise at all and need it literally plug and go

Re: Best Router to Use with Home Hub 3
 

That's the wise course at this point.

Re: Best Router to Use with Home Hub 3
 

my ac68u does and I assumed all Asus routers did. Doesn't matter though, the cheaper £50 one I linked to would still serve a decent wireless access point.
