The Official Sup Forums Router Discussion Thread

>2018
>not managing your router responsibly

1) What model router do you have?
2) What firmware do you use? Is it up to date?
3) Have you considered business-grade routing?

Daily reminder that DDWRT is shit and you should be using LEDE or Gargoyle for stability and speed.

Hourly reminder that Tomato is dead and you should move to a non-dead firmware.

>business-grade routing
literally what does that even mean?

why are you even on Sup Forums?

WRT-54g
DD-WRT
OP is a faggot

>WRT-54g
>DD-WRT

ouch

I have that exact router, OP.

It's popular.

OP is indeed a fag

>muh ddwrt

It's shit. Always beta quality. Deal with it.

>dd-wrt
enjoy your 4k peers limit and broken shit

>not just getting orbi

What a loser. Enjoy your no life.

Hello im ubnt and what is this?

>orbi

go back to watching rick and morty you bugman

just some shitty cisco that came from the isp

What router should I get? I want to get rid of my ISPs botnetbox.

it means huge and loud industrial routers that are meant to go in a server rack and have more ports than you can ever use.

all of them are botnet if you are on docsis. it would not work if it wasnt.

>that came from the isp

why are you even on Sup Forums?

it just works and i dont want loud datacenter hardware in my home.

>loud datacenter hardware

jesus fucking christ. how do you even tie your shoes being this dumb?

i dont. modern shoes have lock bits so you dont need to tie them anymore.

Thinking of this for the small company I work for as we currently use a netgear n300 and it's just plain inadequate

WRT 3200 acm running LEDE but it keeps dropping wifi connection so i went back to my netgear r7000

>all these faggots using combo boxes with muh shitty AP flavor firmware

maybe i should build an open wifi router that runs windows 10 and has all telemetry options enabled.

1) Whatever is LibreCMC compatible.
2) LibreCMC
3) Whatever you mean with this, I personally accept no compromises, I don't use wifi at all due to it's lack of security and how easy it is penetrate. Cat7a Ethernet only, switch is your best friend.

>wifi router
>running a router with windows

The state of Nu/g/ everyone

>being this autistic

>nu/g/ does not know where the fuck he is

maybe you should return to where your fellow plebs hang out at plebbit

I got several Orbi's from work, they seem to work quite well.

i have the one you posted, it works good

gogs.librecmc.org/libreCMC/libreCMC/src/v1.4/docs/Supported_Hardware.md

sad as fuck

>being this paranoid

>mikrotik router
>ubiquiti wifi

name me a more comfy combination

What's the benefit of custom firmware?

more features, updates when your OEM stops updating.

So, it's pretty much useful for old and/or basic hardware right?

My ISP gave me a free router. Did I fuck up Sup Forums?

>1) What model router do you have?
WRT54G or something.
>2) What firmware do you use? Is it up to date?
Stock 1.0.
>3) Have you considered business-grade routing?
Should I?

Can anyone on Sup Forums help me out?
>ISP only provides internet via a ethernet cable, need to buy my own router and configure to use wifi, get constant 50 mbps downloading uploading speed (that's 6.25 MB/s)
>buy dlink dir 615 router because am poorfag and was getting that for 6 dollars and configure it
>get half of the speeds that I got from directly using net via LAN cable (range is shit (only works in the room installed and the adjacent room, drops signals like a cunt in others)
So obviously I need to replace this piece of shit
Some guy I know recommended TPlink TL-WR841N. Is that a good router? Will it not be a piece of shit like my dlink router?

>TPlink TL-WR841N
I have WR740N which is pretty much the same but with one antenna, i got 100mbps from isp and wifi varies 60-90mbps in the same room, and around 30mbps trough 2 thick brick walls. I imagine with 2 antennas it will be okay. Software wise, i used stock for 5 years without any problems, and dd-wrt for a year with some bugs

>Pic related
>Tomato Shibby, no update since 2014
>No, but interested

Main is Archer C7 AC1750 v4 with ddwrt. LEDE is not an option, as it's known to degrade ac performance. Currently it handles all services including openvpn server.
Secondary is WR1043nd v1. It's a print server and switch.

All of you kids fucking disgust me

>Daily reminder that DDWRT is shit and you should be using LEDE or Gargoyle for stability and speed.
works just fine for me
>1) What model router do you have?
TP-Link Archer C7 v2
>2) What firmware do you use? Is it up to date?
DD-WRT
>3) Have you considered business-grade routing?
no

here
Did you ever test USB performance in it? I'm only getting about 12MB/s, and it causes 100% CPU use...

I have gigabit internet, will a USG make me unhappy? I don't need all the features pfSense has.

I use a dedicated server with NFS / SMB shares like every sane person

You haven't answered my question :^)

Asus RT-N66U here

Complete newb with routers. Best router for $200 US? I have 100 mbps spectrum internet.

Bump

I got this one stupid fucking cheap a few months ago from a retail training promotion. I would never have considered paying this much for a router otherwise.

TP-Link Archer VR900 + Archer D7

I have a dilemma. I bought a WR1043ND (V2) for cheap to use as a switch and router. For whatever reason, it can't retrieve anything WAN-side. I think it's because it doesn't have settings in PPPoE for VLAN, PPP auth. type, or Encapsulation, so I can't set it to my network's specific settings, but I can't be sure that I'm getting at the right thing here. Would anyone know why WAN things may not work? The layout is roughly ONT -> WR1043ND -> APs.

The WR841N is good for its price even with stock firmware. Don't expect anything close to what people would rave about using Ubiquiti, MicroTiK, Cisco, or whatever else.

is an archer c7 any good?

wrt1200ac or edgerouter x + unify ap ac lite
It was good 4 years ago. But not anymore. Get a xiaomi mi3g and flash it with LEDE

>no wifi drivers
>no 4g drivers
>no shadowsocks
>no tor
>no ftp
>no transmission

Yes that would be what I said.

yes

>Tomato Shibby, no update since 2014

get ready to get raped

I have a 615 D and it maxs my connection out at 90mbps. Maybe try ddwrt on it (i have the version just after that patched krack) if your version is supported. WiFi is turd on it though but it cost me £1 at a car boot sale so I don't really care.

it's pretty good but its somewhat old by now so unless you can get it for a steal, don't bother.

>xiaomi
enjoy your hardware botnet

>implying your router isn't also made in China

Korea, actually. It's an US ally.
So if I'm a part of botnet i hope it's the US one.

>US ally

say hi to the NSA

Can anyone tell me.how to block ads on ddwrt? This dd-wrt.com/wiki/index.php/Ad_blocking does not work.

Stop using ddwrt. It's a buggy piece of shit.

Look at this guy. He gives absolutely no fucks about your shit thread.

That's the shit router that people who couldn't afford a WRT54G got.

just werks™

That's what my ISP gave me, the WiFi is pretty shit.

Anyone?

pfSense on a DL120 G7

ive got a c7 v2 and currently have installed gargoyle 1.10 I believe was the version number. Did I make the right choice? I mean it works fantastic, can't complain much other than the openvpn .zip upload, will not work.

>pffffftffftsense
come on.

Archer C7 v2, stock firmware.

Not even considering anything else, used to switch routers about yearly out of frustration tho.

any reason why stock? updating it is very easy, unless you chose not to.

Because I always try to use the supported standard for everything unless there's a specific problem I want to solve. It really helps with avoiding random, untraceable issues.

And I'm happy to report the stock firmware for this router is really fucking great, for one thing I've never seen so many fucking options with all the other ones I've had over the years.

I actually don't get people who flash this particular model to something else.

Is gearbest legit? They seem to be having sales all the time and even have their own yt channel and all that

Miktrotik RB750Gr3 plus WaP AC is comfy as fuck. RouterOS is awesome and beats ubiquity shit. If you want to go open source it's also piss easy to install LEDE on it. This all much cheaper than consumer tier gaeming pro routers.

Nighthawk(R) X4S R7800

Running stock firmware as i havent been getting around to try it custom firmware.

Anyone have recommendations for this router? Planned on putting in DD-WRT but OP says LEDE or Gargoyle, so explain yourself.

What's a good router under $30. I just want everyone in my small house to have wifi.

can you autists recommend me a complex network system for my home? I need something real fucking complex, something that will require me to take a Phd in computer science, stay up all nights trying to solve bugs and something that I can brag about having on Sup Forums even if I'm being rapped in my unsecured ass anyways.
I need the fastests shit because I need to transfer my 4k 60fps porn stream from my ancient thinkpad that doesn't even support HD to my 4K chinese not smart tv because I dont want to get hacked.

thanks desu (put other anime proverbs)

(imagine a hot anime girl pic attached)

fucking got a wrt 3200ac and the fuckers Ethernet cables on the back gave out and only give me half the speed. fuck linksys

I'd like to try one of these, but my Linux-fu is no good :-( . anyone have any experiences with these to share?

>implying your not being monitored

Why would you recommend that xiaomi router over the Archer c7?

The C7 is a 3x3 mimo router with 2 more gigabit ports and a 150mhz faster cpu, while the xiaomi is a 2x2 mimo router. I don't understand what makes the xiaomi better when it has lower specs across the board outside of RAM.

I have a r7800 too. Running LEDE.

Hype backlash. Sup Forums hates basically everything that's popular.

Look out guys!
OP forgot his place again!

Mi3G have dual core cpu with 600 BogoMIPS and could reach 65Mb/s with openvpn, over 90Mb/s with shadowsocks, 100MB/s read, 35MB/s write with usb3.
>2x2 mimo router
There is no real world difference with 3x3.

But on the end it's all about price. You cant beat xiaomi 46-50$ tag.

Yeah they are legit

>not building your own router with Linux
What, too poor for extra electricity?

Didn't they have a security breach? Something about user accounts getting leaked.

Use paypal.

FRITZBOX!

1) What model router do you have?
Netgear R7000
2) What firmware do you use? Is it up to date?
DD-WRT, no
3) Have you considered business-grade routing?
Yes

Is PC Engines hardware a good choice if I want to build a router?

>using router with built in access point

lol
