http://www.xmission.com/utopia#more FWIW: Affordable FTTH internet is avail...I'm currently paying $45/month for 100Mbps/100Mbps thru my ISP XMission. I have the ability to switch ISP anytime as well since there is no contract and multiple providers provide service over Utopia installed...

Closing Thoughts There is both good and bad news for those itching to run out and buy a draft 11ac router. The good is that, when paired with its WLI-H4-D1300 partner, the WZR-D1800H can produce almost 450 Mbps of aggregate throughput when handling multiple clients. Even better, though, its...

https://forums.openvpn.net/topic7049.html If you can set up OpenVPN which dd-wrt supports do so since it is more secure. Move your dd-wrt router behind your Airport Extreme gateway router if you can then just forward your OpenVPN port 1194 to the dd-wrt router...

Buffalo Is Shipping Draft 802.11ac Router, Bridge Today Well it was until yesterday...

My Fiber-to-the-home upload speed far exceeds any public hotspot connection speed that I have ever used!:D And latency is negligible...

Its actually $45/month for the 100Mbps symmetrical...$35/month for the slower 50Mbps!;) Still wish there wasn't any but 1TB cap seems alot more reasonable nowadays than Comcast's 250MB caps!:o

For true secure remote connections, OpenVPN is your friend!;) Have the free OpenVPN server running successfully from my ASUS RT-N66U gateway router flashed w/Shibby's Tomato so that a dedicated OpenVPN server computer isn't even necessary!:D When I connect from the road and on public...

http://www.xmission.com/utopia#more FWIW: Live in Centerville, UT and I used to suffer under Comcast slow speeds & much higher prices but w/Utopia Fiber to the home install into my house, I now have the symmetrical 100Mpbs for $45/month. But my point was that this hasn't slowed my habit of...

Only pay $45/month for FTTH but I still burn blu-rays regularly!;)

In my case, Tomato firmware is a strong upgrade over stock ASUS firmware due to the built in OpenVPN support it provides. Tomato is also no slouch when it comes to 802.11n speeds flashed onto the RT-N66U

Since flashing Shibby's Tomato firmware, I have no desire to ever go back to ASUS stock firmware!;) I can recommend Shibby's latest build 092: http://tomato.groov.pl/index.php?dir=K26RT-N%2Fbuild5x-092-EN

Range extenders are not recommended because they effectively halve your wireless bandwidth thus reducing overall performance. The ASUS RT-N66U flashed w/Shibby's latest Tomato build 802.11n works great for me and also supports OpenVPN within the router!;) RT-66U (flashed w/Shibby's Tomato...
