Re: [rCable] Wireless Issue

The OP should seriously consider a dual band router from ASUS. RT-N66U would be the low end bottom minimum choice and work up from there to a beefier AC based unit. With 3 to 6 other people sharing just ask everyone to chip in and grab one. Check Staples..have some ASUS routers on sale right now.

Funny, because Newegg and sites are full of bad experiences with this R7000, not to mention the warranty is only 1 year vs 2 year with ASUS.

ASUS is the way to go right now..not Netgear...

No, RT66U is much better.

LoL.

if you were comparing RT-AC68U vs R7000 (then, maybe ... we could discuss it), comparing RT-N66U vs R7000 (ur just wasting ur and my time (as well, providing a false informations to this community)) (but, its normal from you, anyway)

I found the R7000 is poorly set up for IP6. Once you guys figured out my problem with the Asus RT-AC68U (disable DNS), I have had no issues and the unit is rock solid. Don't get me wrong. I am also a supporter of Netgear. What I don't like is their routers are poorly set up for IP6

I have ipv6 working on my R7000 (dd-wrt) + it works on Tomato firmware as well.

try it on stock software. Not everybody is going to download dd-wrt and tomato. I'm quite happy with stock. Also, the average user will have no idea how to install and use dd-wrt

I've had no problems with the RT-AC66u performance wise, and the A68u simply just has a slightly faster CPU and wireless enhancements that are pretty much non-existent since no wireless adapter exists to make use of them.

Getting the top model from Linksys/ASUS/Netgear really just comes down to preference.

:) first thing i did when i purchased this router was putting dd-wrt on it, did not play with stock firmware at all, and i won't.

I understand your point, just saying, its possible. (ipv6 - 6rd)
