Personally use an Asus as my default router at home when I’m not playing with Cisco/Juniper/Fortigate “non-home” routers …
I have the RT-AC87R and an impressed …. Never lets me down and handles whatever I throw at it … the wireless is pretty good too IMHO Netgear Nighthawk – bought one before the Asus and returned it within a few days … their tech support is absolutely horrible to deal with … 4 hours waiting on hold to be told that my router is “incompatible with Canadian Internet services” …. ROFL … issue ended up being poorly written code after pushing the issues for a couple of hours and finding out the firmware would be released (to solve the problem which was IPv6 related) – that release was slated for sometime in the next year ;( -p On 2017-12-02, 12:03 PM, "Af on behalf of Mitch Koep" <[email protected] on behalf of [email protected]> wrote: We also recommend Asus now as the netgear have become undependable The Asus have been rock solid Mitch On 12/2/2017 10:49 AM, Sterling Jacobson wrote: > My main recommendations now are Asus and Netgear Nighthawk (NOT regular Netgear, those suck). > > I don't provide routers to our customers, so I'm thinking we now have hundreds of either brand/line of these routers and they seem to be the least failure prone. > > -----Original Message----- > From: Af [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Jay Weekley > Sent: Saturday, December 2, 2017 9:43 AM > To: [email protected] > Subject: [AFMUG] Residential router recommendation. > > I have a friend that is looking for a new router from a big box store > like Best Buy, Walmart or Officemax.
