    The Router Recommendations Thread (Consumer)

    I do have a wireless router, but it's used only on occasion with a single laptop. I also have a wireless phone booster as my house tends to get a rather weak signal from the local towers. I got tired of having to go outside every time I wanted to use my cell phone. Now I can use it anywhere in...

    The Router Recommendations Thread (Consumer)

    I have every room in my house wired for gigabit ethernet so wireless isn't even on my radar. I still have the crappy Actiontek router supplied by Verizon that I have connected to my pfSense router to supply a wireless connection if I need it. As for being "free", the wireless routers you've...

    Why would I care about dual band if I don't need wireless? :confused:

    Thanks, but I definitely don't have a need for 802.11ac wireless. I went ahead and ordered a Mikrotik RB951G-2HND router through Amazon. I found a lot of tutorials on setting it up and using it on YouTube.

    The Router Recommendations Thread (Consumer)

    I just received the one I bought on ebay and it was from a seller in South Africa, not Germany, as I originally indicated. He sent me some Chinese brand (Tenda) that looks nothing like the WDR4900 so I'm seeing about sending it back. What's the best gigabit router for use with a VPN service...

    Sounds good except that it does not appear to be available in the U.S. unless I want to buy one from China on ebay. Is there something comparable that's available in the U.S. market?

    The Router Recommendations Thread (Consumer)

    I'm looking for a new router to use with a VPN service (private internet access). I'm currently running pfSense on an old PC. I've also got the Actiontec router that Verizon gave me for wireless that I have set up on one of the LAN ports. Wireless is of minimal importance as my whole house is...

    Change default gateway on Asus RT-N56U router

    I just bought an Asus RT-N56U router to replace my D-Link gaming router. The D-Link router has a default gateway of 192.168.0.1 whereas the Asus uses 192.168.1.1. I have several devices configured with static IP addresses so I would like to be able to change the default gateway of the Asus to...
