Re: Please can you recommend me a router

I had an ASUS AC68U.

2.4 range of ASUS is slightly worse than the Superhub
5G range in some places the superhub was better but the ASUS was better in most places.

By range I mean the signal strength. My house has thick 13in walls and it is large.

Saying that, transfer speed (throughput)

Wired: on ASUS was ~10 times faster than the superhub on a copper gigabit 6a network over 100m cabling at the maximal distance (300m overall),

Wifi: on ASUS was 5-6 times faster than superhub despite weaker signal.

Tomato bricked the ASUS. Merlin speeded it up by 10%. I did not try dd-wrt.

With 23 devices connected (phones, servers, PCs, laptops, cameras etc) well the ASUS did not notice the traffic but the superhub had trouble coping as a router

I dunno .... I returned the ASUS. I was expecting better range

The interface is too friendly and too easy for my liking. I prefer technical talk
