T-mobile sold a bunch of rebranded asus routers a couple of years back that are still excellent today and can be had for pretty cheap. Comes with some shitty tmobile spyware I think, but you can flash openwrt on it.
Speed tests are pretty unreliable, but the peak unobstructed wifi speeds I've gotten from that have been better than what I get from my Unifi 6 lite, which supports wifi 6, even on wifi 6 devices. (couple hundred mbps on a home gigabit plan from Nazi Germany I mean Comcast)
EDIT: it's called the T-Mobile AC-1900
- mrslave 6y agoThanks for the tip. This is a rebranded Asus RT-AC68U and in the $200 sweet spot. Unfortunately it's a Broadcom-based device which means OpenWRT support is limited, but apparently DD-WRT has better support[0]: > DD-WRT has a license agreement and NDA in place with Broadcom that allow usage of better, proprietary, closed source wireless drivers (binary blobs) which they are not allowed to redistribute freely.
