House is about 2100 sq ft, cable modem (Netgear CM500, we have Cox) & old WiFi router are in a front corner of the house. I'd prefer growing into an already capable router, not having to replace it so fast if it can't keep up with their new devices. Technically we dont NEED WiFi 6 now as I think none of our devices support it, but i anticipate some possible upgrades in the next several years. Other devices include dad's old Galaxy Core Prime, 2008 Dell D830 laptop with Core2Duo T7250, my Moto G4 Play, LG G4, Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G, & a few older dead devices.

My daily driver laptop: 2015 Clevo P750DM-G with i7-6700K Hopefully we can get a drop-in replacement that doesn't require reconfiguring the network, or re-authenticating existing devices or starting over with their ip, gateway, mask, etc settings.Īlso several times in my search some mesh devices came up, should we consider that or just go for a traditional router?ĭad's laptop: Dell Inspiron 17" from 2017/18 with i7-8550U I really need to get a router this morning, so we can plug it in & get it running right away. My searches on Costco, Best Buy, Walmart all turned up units that were either too expensive, not available in-store, or had other glaring flaws. I need to buy locally as we otherwise have NO INTERNET on our PCs, so shipping is out of the question, unless it's faster than driving to a local super walmart the moment it opens & buying one there (if I drive 25mph over the speed limit (most you can do and still take traffic school to get rid of the violation point, still have to pay the ~$400+ fine though), do "California stops" at stop signs, enter the store like Heath Bell used to come into a baseball game from the bullpen, know exactly where the item is that I want, and there's no one in front of me at the checkout).
Either they lacked required features, were over budget, had deal-breaking negative reviews, or weren't in stock locally.ĭD-WRT preloaded (may consider OpenWRT, AsusWRT/Merlin, Tomato? But only if it comes factory installed)ĭesigned to last a long time, like 10-12+ years or more.
I've spent most of the last several hours trying to find something online that I could buy at a local store & set up tonight, to no avail. (Just remembered my mom's phone is on the same plan with dad, but her phone is painfully slow and some things often don't even work on it.) I don't feel safe plugging my desktop's Ethernet directly into our Netgear CM500 cable modem. So right now mine & my dad's phones are the only devices with internet. I don't have the expertise to even attempt a firmware flash, which a few sites mentioned as well. (It happened around 2pm or so, its now 11:58pm PDT (UTC-7) as I type this sentence at 0.00001 wpy on my phone.)Īll it does is a 2 red flash every few seconds, and Google tells me it's basically bricked. Okay this is hard to type on my phone, but it's the only working thing I have right now.Īnyway, our WiFi router (Buffalo WZR-600DHP) passed away earlier this afternoon, so I need to buy a replacement.
