Hello guys I’m new where so please forgive me if posting in wrong section.
Iam having a broadband connection and I need a wifi router to connect wifi with my mobile phone.
I already have a binatone modem so need router without modem.
Need it for everyday usage at home.
I have a small house so not that long range needed.
Not more than 2 people will use it so just would be for basic usage.
need 150mbps not more than that.
confused between TP - link or netgear or Asus which one to go for and which model too.
Guys kindly suggest me need to buy asap.
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
^^
Thanks for your reply mate but I have seen some bad reviews for this router on Flipkart and on other websites too.Most of the users facing less signal and heating issues.
Can you tell me is it worth spending 200 bucks for Netgear or this will serve the purpose ?
The WR740N’s stock firmware seems poor. Most people were fixing it with DD-WRT firmware, but the new V5.x versions aren’t compatible with any third party firmware.
Neighbour has the N10, the day I set it up, WiFi was erratic at best. Restarts were needed. His was a C model I believe, and the task of flashing it to OpenWRT/Tomato will fall on me
I would suggest to go for a USED ASUS N13 ~ about 2K, A new one is about 2.7K on eBay. If on a lesser budget, get the 740N and flash to DD-WRT/Tomato
^ Yeah thats the problem, the new 740N is v5.x which isn’t supported by DD-WRT and doesn’t look like it will be - maybe because of the 2MB flash?
N10 variants are a bit confusing. Only the original A1 model has Broadcom. The B1 (I think they sell this as N10+), C1 (looks like it has what they call the ‘black diamond’ finish) are Ralink, i.e. no tomato support.
