I'm thinking of buying my own router for my apartment, do I need to buy security along with it?

Nah dude, you don’t need to waste money on one of those “network security plans.” Most consumer routers are fine right out of the box as long as you tweak a few settings. If you grab something decent in the $100–$150 range (TP-Link Archer AX21, ASUS RT-AX57, Netgear, etc.), just do this after settin

Question about buying a router for Virtual Desktop

dedicated router for Quest 3 does not need to be connected to your modem or the internet. You can connect a router directly to your PC via Ethernet (PC-to-router) to create a private, lag-free local network for VR. The PC will still use your AT&T WiFi for internet access, while the Quest uses the ne

US conducting criminal antitrust investigation into TP-Link, Bloomberg News reports

Their products were involved in some pretty big botnet campaigns that targeted large companies like Microsoft. There's still a network of rogue AX21 routers, mostly in Europe that are actively attacking systems. They really ruffled the wrong feathers. FWIW, I think Tenda and Wavlink should be banned

Manda vender a porra de uma placa de 4-5 anos atrás por quase R$300 é maluquisse total. O driver dessas p

WiFi 5 GhZ Doesn't Penetrate Thick Walls Well.

Hi OP big fan of your username. I am midway through season 2 right now. Right now the TP link ax1800 and another model are on Clearance at Home Depot for $25 and $22. You could add more and mesh them.

WiFi 5 GhZ Doesn't Penetrate Thick Walls Well.

Haha, I made the account when I was a huge fan of the show while it aired. Gotta rewatch again soon! Are AX1800s that good?, I feel disappointed in TP-link budget routers after this experience.

decrease bitrate

I used to get these random stutters and notifications to lower the bitrate often. I researched so many new router options, ranging from $100 to over $500. Then I decided to switch out my stupid ugreen usb wifi dongle for a $30 tp link ax1800 with two antennas, i never get these stutters anymore. My

Best Router for Local Multiplayer VR?

Wi-Fi 6 I can personally vouch for the ASUS AX1800 or AX3000 routers. Avoid TP-Link and Huawei Wi-Fi '6' routers for VR gaming specifically, they're know to cause issues. Their Wi-Fi '6e' routers are fine though. In terms of connecting multiple headsets to the same router, do you mean you're playing

Altafiber and google nest

My advice: buy a TP Link Archer AX1800 for $60 on sale at Walmart. Over a gigabit WiFi 6 dual band. If you need tri band (unlikely) get the AX3000 for $70-80. Once you get it, connect it to your ONT’s output and test it out. If all good, call or chat with Altafiber to cancel the Nest WiFi router ren
