To those asking about replacements... I built a home router with about $150-250 of parts, an old, small in space HD, and an old comouter case I had laying around. I have wireless access points on 2/3 floors (old Cisco router for the basement, an N ASUS router for the rest of the house). I used PF Sense on the box. I have wired internet on as much as I can and wish I could use it for more. I don't understand the desire for everything to be wireless. My TVs, desktops, gaming consoles, etc. do not move.
I have never been happier with my internet setup. The only time I have had issues was when FIOS was out. The only restarts I have had to do was when my power went out. It has been close to two years now and this is the least amount of maintenance I have ever had to do.
- JohnTHaller 10y agoQuite a few folks are living in places where they aren't allowed to start making holes in walls or between floors to run network cables.
- mcgrath_sh 10y agoAah, that is completely fair. I am lucky in that I can run those wires. A scenario where someone couldn't didnt cross my mind. Thanks for pointing it out!
- ryao 10y agoThere exist third party wireless bridges that work well in such situations. I never hear them mentioned in discussions like this though.
