    I second the recommendation for TP-Link running OpenWRT (that’s the important part).

    I’ve been using a few Archer C7s for going on a decade at this point. (So long that they went from “OpenWRT” to “LEDE” to back to “OpenWRT”, LOL!) They’ve been working fine that whole time, and the only thing that annoys me about them is that they’re a funny shape instead of being rack-mountable.












  • Do you never research a product before purchasing or do you just work with whatever is available in your local store? If you’re buying a car, is it just whatever is on the side of the road or do you search for expert reviews or reliability data?

    I, for one, actively search out the reviews from entities that go out of their way to not be sponsored by the makers of the products they’re reviewing.


  • I’ve just had an epiphany (or maybe a half-baked showerthought) reading this thread.

    All marketers are trying to sell people stuff, but if you think about it, what’s the one thing in common that they’re all trying to sell, and that they’re presumably best at?

    Their own services.

    So who knows if this “advertising value” has any relationship with reality, or if it’s just inflated bullshit marketers make up to sell themselves.
