I have one of these and it's a really good dual band router. I have my network configured so that the network bridges serving my entertainment centers are on the 5ghz band and my laptops use the 2.4ghz band.
Seconded on these things being solid. The default firmware is decent, but they run DD-WRT now too. I might have to pick a second one up to expand the range of my WiFi.
can someone tell me about using routers as a bridge - for example, I want to expand my network, throw a wireless router in a closer with Vonage, NAS Server, other things and place a second one upstairs.
WDS - Wiress Distribution System would be ideal to keep the same SSID, etc...this I do not believe has that - is this still a thing with Wireless N or was it only wireless G and I should not worry about WDS. The upgrade from G to N will likely make the prior a moot point.
I love the dual band feature and I already ordered this because of the reviews and the need for an N router.
The WDS is a nice to have. Anyone have any input on expanding a network. Dont want to hear about access points unless computers can connect wirelessly to the network with them.
Is dd-wrt MY answer? Reading about this now?
Thanks.
1. slow 2.4ghz
2. slow mix mode (2.4 & 5ghz)
3. poor reception
If you dont REALLY care about those things and want a cheap router that gives you dual bands, then this seems to me to be a good deal.
If you dont think you are going to need 5GHz for a couple years (me) then the deal right now for $78 for the Asus RT-N16 is better. That is a solid router.
