Hello Dear overclockers uk forum

Best router after years of practice please. without theory

Thanks,
Andrey

You'll need to put the superhub in modem mode.

i have exactly the same problem and just ordered the asus (arriving tommorow).

asus is meant to be the best especially at the price.

Price true, but had negative practice with Asus in 2006-7-8. Had two similar routers, one home other in office.
at home router dropped connections wifi and cables after 1 month.
at office dropped after one year and was not possible to stop these problems.

After all practices found out lots of customers had same problems with these models, even update into linux base didn't helped.
That why I didn't looked routers for these years until today, coz spends doesn't affect on quality, but could be today new routers can be stable (newest levels of microelectronics)

Can you recommend me a router with a good coverage but not too expensive? Something in the sub 40 pound range? I do nto need any extras really, just good coverage (singla spreads out well through floors and walls) and quick

The TP-Link hardware is the budget end reliable (ish) kit. Avoid Netgear link the plague.
