Nighthawk R7000

Dit. Bekabeld. En als je niet teveel aan een access point wil uitgeven, koop een router die dd wrt ondersteunt. Ik heb zelf drie access points verspreid door het huis, allemaal op Netgear R7000 routers die met dd wrt firmware als access point voor de wifi werken. Die R7000 koop je voor 2 tientjes op

Like others have already mentioned, unless the Router is receiving updates, then it's time to look into a replacement. OR, change out the firmware from the vendor to an open source project that supports the Router AND is being regularly updated. Checking the most popular firmware replacements I foun

Nice job repurposing old hardware, but one thing to keep in mind is security. Be very sure that the router (your interface between the internet/outside and your intranet/inside network) is still receiving firmware upgrades and is supported by the manufacturer. This ensures any exploits/bugs/etc. tha

If your current router isn't getting firmware updates anymore, consider upgrading. You can stay with Wifi 5 if you want.. just buy a used router that is compatible with 3rd party firmware like dd-wrt, openwrt or fresh tomato. Then you'll have current firmware on the router with security updates. I'm

I would pay a bit more for a WRT-capable router, as the other commenter recommended. Netgear, ASUS, and Eero are the best brands I've used in residential deployments. Check out Netgear's Nighthawk RAX50 (WiFi 6 capable, and costs ~$150-200). If you want WiFi 7 capability, look at the Nighthawk RS300

Is $200 too much for you? You can get used ones for $200 easy, I've seen them for 170-180 locally. You don't really need to get a WiFi 7 router (the latest and greatest model). But even that one brand new is $279. IMO - $200 is a normal amount to spend on a quality wifi router. That was the norm eve

Netgear R7000 fits your budget, ~$150.

First, I suggest you do a little research. This question has been asked before on r/openwrt so you can look at old threads. Here are some recommendations from the past year: https://www.reddit.com/r/openwrt/search/?q=best+router&type=posts&t=year You could also post to r/openwrt & ask for suggestion

Happy users often forget not every case matches theirs. It took seconds to find many posts confirming performance issues. I'm new to Tomato so I'm studying how it may serve me after flashing it to my demoted R6700v3 (close kin to R7000) as a backup so I'm never "one deep" on routers. The horrid bugg

I used to like Netgear. I still use one of their products, a Netgear Nighthawk R7000 router, as a wired access point in my network. Great range and fantastic reliability. It is nearly 10 years old and is still working well as a WAP. However, I won't buy a Netgear product today. I do not agree with t
