RE: router suggestions

[Chris Grabowski via Talk]

The buffalo router you have is a stripped down DDWRT, IE buffalos own.  While 
it is accessible routers running DDWRT are very accessible.  I have a nighthawk 
from Netgear running the firmware.
Also stock firmware running on Asus routers is accessible.  Stock firmware on 
the netgears is also accessible.

Hope this helps.

Good question. I have heard rumors that it is usable. I believe Chris from our 
support team has some experience using the web interface used by the DD-WRT 
firmware. He might have some insight to share.

Re: router suggestions

[Marc Solomon via Talk]

If you are looking for a wireless router, you may want to check out the 
offerings from Buffalo. Good bang for your buck. I purchased mine earlier this 
year from Amazon for under $100 and the unit has been rock solid.
I read allot of reviews first and this unit was a great value and met my needs 
(dual band 5GHz and 2.4GHz, 802.11ac, and DD-WRT firmware). Here is the model: 
BUFFALO AirStation Extreme AC1750 Gigabit Dual Band Open Source DD-WRT Wireless 
Router (WZR-1750DHPD).
Best,
Marc

I like the ASUS WI-FI routers.  The installation disk is pretty simple to

I should also say in fairness that my ASUS wireless router was bought in 
2011 and still going strong today.

RE: router suggestions

[Chris Grabowski via Talk]

You might look at the Asus and Netgear brands.

The last Linksys I tried wasn't but the Asus and Netgear stock firmware seems 
to be accessible.
I also tried a tp-link archer and it also failed the accessibility test.  It 
wasn't fun to use and was promptly returned.

If you wanted to  install third party firmware on your router the DD-WRT 
firmware is accessible.
Just some thoughts.
