    Looking for a good router

    Ok I need to change my lolwrt120n and I need a new router but it need to answer these 2 prereq.

    1) The lan ports needs to have 10/100/1000
    2) I need it to do Dual Band Simoultianusly so I need it to be able to broadcast an SSID 2.4ghz mixed G and N and another SSID wireless N 5GHz. at the same time

    The only router I found in my stores here is the lollinksys E3000 but it sells for like 159$

    Looking for something cheaper

    Thx

    Just FYI, the asus does support VPN when you flash it with tomato usb (with vpn option not ext) - you want to flash it with custom firmware anyway.

    Hi, you may want to know what it is before saying it's "retarded". Re-flashing a router's firmware is not new, you know.

    Top notch quality of service options (you can specify types of traffic, like xbox live vs p2p traffic). Allows for custom scripting. Bandwidth monitor graphs. Firewall options over custom schedules/settings.

    Just google the advantages and what people think of the firmware ;o

    who doesn't run custom fw on their router nowdays o_O;;;;;;;;;; I'm still using an old wrt54gs v2. I bough separate switches and access points to go with it because as a router the wrt kicks so much ass.

    Everyone I know who is technologically inclined in the slightest flashes their router firmware. It's easy as hell these days. Stability, expansion of features, customization... these are all reasons to do it.

    I'm not saying that it's retarded to flash the router's firmware at all, trust me.

    I was commenting on how it won't allow you to use VPNs.

    The dir-825 is so boss, it doesn't need to be flashed. Flashing to cfw is only for chumps who buy cheap shit or control freaks.


    come at me bro.
