Cheap router, but with 9dbi dongles

>cheap router, but with 9dbi dongles
good idea y/n

I have one of those as a backup. They're not bad for being cheap as hell, just don't expect anything over 100mbps.

>Using wifi

>Not using an enterprise-grade access point and PFSense

For casual use, sure. Torrenting shit via that thing is a no-no.

None of that shit makes wifi any less terrible.

Actually it does. I can jam my neighbors' routers with it.

>Actually it does
How so?
Wifi is objectively worse than Ethernet in every way that matters, so why even bother with that garbage?

>worse than Ethernet in every way that matters
I use it for mobile devices and my nest (vlan-separated). Wiring them would be impractical.

>mobile devices
Yes, wifi is just a necessity, because garbage like this exists.
>my nest
Your what?

>Your what?
Thermostat. I bought it mostly because it has a web interface for programming it rather than having to sit there and push the handful of buttons in different sequences like an iphone.

>Nest Thermostat
>Literally letting the google botnet into your home

>Implying it isn't on a VLAN that cannot access the rest of my network

No, you need a modern router that supports congestion backoff and beamforming.

Just buy an AC1750 router for like $80 like an Archer c7

how much does an archer c7 cost nowadays? wr741nd's suck if you're trying to serve a whole house.

AMERICAN MUTTS AT THEIR FINEST

>implying someone too dumb to make their own thermostat is smart enough isolate this device from the billions of other devices running google botnet with hundreds of ways to communicate

...

those things can barely cover 1 small room.

It's good for the price. I got one too. Sadly it's not dualband
It covers the whole house though. Not just a single room. The range is around 20m or less

You plug your Ethernet cable into your phone yes?
