What router do you use /g/?

Linksys wrt 54g with dd-wrt firmware
>>51817297
What's the point of a router like that? Waste of money IMO

A Linksys E3000 with Shibby's Tomato.
I would love to get a pfsence server with tons of gigabit cards, and wifi adapters and another gigabit switch, but I simply don't have the time or money to do that. I have some piece of shit router that my ISP gave me.
pfsense backlogged my appliance order like 2 months, so i canceled it and got this. also it has something like 10-16X wifi mA power rating than the shitty nic that would have just been hanging out of that appliance.
Anyone that uses DD-WRT over OpenWRT or AsusWRT in this day and age is fucking retarded. Literal garbage software.
>>51817384
I'd actually like a serious answer to this.
>>51817446

i take it has some semblance of NIDPS on it as well?

>>51817520
Not him, but I'm already at like 40 ping in most games. I doubt some fancy router is going to drop it much.
I paired this router with my new Skylake CPU to get max fps in my gaymes.
its okay.

>>51817597

I had the C7 revision of this with AC. My fucking face when the 2.4 channel doesn't go through the external antennas. Still pretty good in a house with chicken wire walls

I have that one. 5ghz range is literally shit. But like your said , nothing spectacular, just a good reliable router. My 2.4ghz range is crazy huge. I wish I could only set it as 802.11 n instead of mix

This is why I don't play online games.
>>51817708
The wireless is shit on that and you overpaid. You should have gotten a good modem for $60 and good router for $50-75
>>51817732
What router should I get then?
Archer C7. Got it for $78 thanks to following the Wirecutter deals twitter.

WRT600N running dd-wrt for wireless AP
Cisco eight-port gigabit hub
I was previously running pfSense on an old desktop but it was costing $200/year in electricity while the mini PC uses 12-14 watts and costs much less, I hope.
>>51817456
It's better than the firmware on older routers but it's become kind of a clusterfuck. I'd run anything else if my router supported it.

Edgerouter lite with sophos utm home edition after the erl for firewalling/filtering
tplink 1043nd v2. cheapest gigabit router available in local stores.
Memebox 3490.
It doesn't have a billion antennas, yet it has still outstanding wifi. It also has so many options (like dynDNS) and really good QoS.
I love the box so much and wouldn't replace it for anything but a really good pfsense box, which won't happen since electricity is way too expensive here and I already have a server running.
>>51817297
Mikrotik router, cost about 400 euros.
D-Link DI-524 A1, along with a Motorola SB5100 cable modem from 2002. My WRT-54G just died on me yesterday after being my main router for like 12 years
wrt54gs v1.0@tomato shibby for last 10 years or so.
It is slow tho, struggles with QoS on 12/1.25 line, will have to upgrade soon.
>>51817582
I have the little brother of this,
the TP-Link TL-WDR3600 running OpenWRT
Very satisfied. Install and configuring OpenWRT was as easy as posting on 4chan.
I connected USB wifi adapter that acts as a client for the upstream wifi network, so I can have my own WiFi network.
My Router --- USB WiFi ---> Another WiFi router with Inter
OpenWRT++, not possible with any proprietary firmware that I know of.
Alix with openBSD.
>>51818847
it's not that problematic, for example for a TP-Link router, it's just a regular firmware upgrade. Of course, you need to download the appropriate firmware.
>>51819881
oh and 128 MB RAM is nice
Plus it has 2 USB ports so you can use a thumb drive as additional flash storage
>>51819745
Also using SB5100 which I got with my first 24/7 internet connection, had 64/64kbit speed back then.
Who would say those things would last so far in the future.
>>51817384

>>51817297
TP-Link WR841ND v7, with OpenWrt 15.05 Chaos Calmer. Works like charm, and it became even better after I've installed OpenWrt for the first time.
Planning to buy a WR1043ND when it dies, but I don't think it will in the next 3-4 years hopefully. :^) It's 3 years old now.
>>51817384
Memes aside, 802.11ac can use up to 8 antennas to achieve a theoretical throughput of about 7 Gb/s
802.1ac WiFi can beat Gigabit Ethernet under good conditions
>>51817934
They used to sell a 8xlan + wifi router that had 2 minipcie addon slots and extra stuff like drives, wifi modules etc. you could put in the slots, idk if that's still an option. You can however buy a router mobo from them, some of them are quite customizable but way expensive for what they are.
>>51817520
Think those antennas are needed for MIMO.
>>51820141
No single client will get aggregated bandwidth of 7 Gbps.
>>51817788
Neat.
>>51817788
What's Miami Vice box?
>>51817297
I'm still just using this old device. Maybe eventually I'll get something with AC support...
>>51820205
No but 8x8 MIMO should yield slightly over 1 GBit/s of real world throughput
>>51817297
I recently installed this $12 device for grandma.
Arguably, I also use it when I visit. Works fine for NAS access, printing, internet, 4 port switch.
>>51820322
So, the same speed as 3 antennas.
If you have 8 antennas, what all different directions do you point them at? You don't actually point them upwards as shown in the picture do you?
>>51817617
So what, it's got 3 internal antennae its range is excellent.
>>51817688
What makes you think the 5ghz range is shit? How do you know it's not your wifi client device that's crap
Only reason I got this was the internal vdsl modem. Pretty locked down in terms of what I can do with it now though.
>he has a $300 router
>still uses the modem his ISP provided
Why do people do this? Also any opinions on modems with built in WiFi? Worth it or not?
>>51821075
I use a 300€ router bridged over that fucking 25€ cable modem.
Sometimes the provider won't let you. There are still benefits in getting a proper router.
>>51817726
try Asuswrt-Merlin, it also charts out download and upload throughput by MAC, so you can find how much who is using.
>>51817297
the one my isp gifted me
>>51821075
> Also any opinions on modems with built in WiFi? Worth it or not?
... why would it be worth it? Use the modem your provider gives (or a better one if necessary), then your own AP to do WLAN.
That way you don't have to get a piece of shit combined device that also gets obsolete with BOTH standard changes on your ISP's cable / DSL / ... protocols, and WLAN protocols.
>>51817456
enjoy your back door, faggot.
>>51821275
My predicament is the modems my provider has given me don't seem to be capable of handling more then 10mbps, which is absurd because I'm paying for 75, plus a $10 a month rental fee for said shitty modems. They've sent me multiple ones and all the same issue. They're the only ISP in the area so I'm essentially stuck with them, my only recourse is to buy my own modem and hope it solves the problem.
>>51817297
So that's a Cybran communication node?
>>51821329
What are the odds that they know they can't deliver more than 10mbps but just don't want to admit it for legal reasons... (they got subsidies and they have a contract with you, right)?
Alas, sure, try your own modem, but still don't bother to get one with built-in WLAN, unless it happens to be otherwise great and you can turn WLAN off later on.
>>51821229
>the one my isp gifted me
Pleb to the max.
>>51819881
hey, family.
>easy as posting on 4chan
I would'nt go that far, but you and I know the POWER that OpenWRT users enjoy.
>happypepe.png

>>51821356
>>51821356
That could be the case, but even if it is at least I can stop paying the damn modem rental fee once I have my own. Any reason in particular to avoid modems with built in WLAN? My computer is hooked up via Ethernet anyway but my wife's laptop and our phones use the WiFi.
Anyone have recommendations on decent modems?

I had a dgl 4500 that just died. I just now purchased an Asus Rt-ac68u. Did I fuck up? It was the only decent model available nearby
The plan:
Archer C9 (stock) feeds two WNDR4300 (openWRT) through a wireless bridge. An old 2950 switch connects to an my computer, work computer and the C9 which is then routed through an old Dell machine repurposed as a router.
I am setting it all up again as one of the WNDR4300s used to feed two other routers, but the one bit it.
Having problems with all this new equipment. I think my the other side of my wireless bridge is feaking out. My new TV seems to be trying to get at everything on that side of the bridge. Also, my 2950 seems to be blocked DHCP, but fixing that is kinda why I bought it.

Can you install openwrt on it? Otherwise it's useless.
>>51820141
The most any actual AP chipset has right now is 4x4, and the most a client-side card has is 3x3.
Also most equipment right now is only 80MHz channel width.
So the most you ever really see would be 433x3 = 1300.
But wifi has all sorts of overhead and such, so the most you'll actually get is about 60% of that, or about 800 mbps.
