RT-AX58U

There are already other consumer routers that already implement the TimeCapsule protocol and are able to achieve the same over the air backup capability by dumping the data into an external drive. For example Asus RT-AX58U. I am not personally using it anymore but I used a router like that for years

The RT-AX58U (first one) is the best out of the 3.

usually they want you to swap over to the latest DOCIS spec'd modem they support because its cheaper for them bandwidth wise. as for a router, I'd suggest a RT-AX58U, supports wifi 6, cheap, reliable.

I use Expressvpn and an Australian based server. The speed is fairly decent with around 66mbps throughput. It won't fully get around the stupid data retention but it will obfuscate the data in amongst everything else. I also use an Asus RT-AX58U router which allows you to load up the vpn directly in

Top Recommendations Best Overall (Wi-Fi 6): ASUS RT-AX5400: – Offers a great balance of speed, coverage, and reliability, perfect for most Spectrum plans. Best High-Performance: ASUS ROG Rapture GT6: – Excels in performance, security, and setup for demanding users. Best Mesh System: TP-Link Deco X55

If you want to stay with ASUS, some good upgrade options to WiFi 6 include ASUS RT-AX86U Pro (if available in your region, otherwise just AX86U), or ASUS RT-AX58U (RT-AX3000) for a lower cost option. For WiFi 7: If you don't need the 6ghz band of WiFi 7 then ASUS RT-BE58U is a good entry level route

I believe Merlinwrt is much like the Asus stock (it's what Merlin is based off of) but with just a few added tweaks like better vlan configurations and multiple wireless lan configuration and SSH access and better firewall configuration, and VPN. That's pretty much the same with freshtomato, it give

That's a very tough call, because the rt-ac68u is pretty hard to beat imo. I have friends that got one around the time it came out (yes even the T-Mobile version) and they're still running strong. Most friends I have that still use them are running freshtomato firmware on it. I'd say the minimum I w

Yeah I use the Asus RT-ax58u. Same router, smaller area coverage. We are just in a 1500 sq ft single story home so didn't need the larger coverage. I get 1-2ms latency and never any connection interruptions.

I use the same (or similiar) Zyxel router as DSL modem. The WiFi speed of that thing was horrible even with 5ghz so I have bought WiFi 6 Asus RT-AX58U And the difference was night and day. Like 15 Mbps vs 150 Mbps in the same spot
