New router for the house

[Jayanth Shivaprakash]

Hey Guys,

If you haven't noticed...our wireless has been difficult the last year or so. Myself and Mike have been talking about getting a new router for some time and wanted to get everyone's feelings on splitwising one.

Here is the advantages of a better router:

• Increased wireless range
• More devices can be hooked up on the wireless router
• Less getting booted off from wireless

Both Mike and Andy Santiago (Fargo) have taken the liberty of finding a router that will fit our needs

http://www.amazon.com/RT-N66U-Dual-Band-Wireless-N900-Gigabit-Router/dp/B006QB1RPY/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1395775172&sr=8-1&keywords=Asus+RT-N66U

Price is $125....in my mind its well worth it and I know Mike is in favor of it to.

Let me know what you guys think

Jay

As someone who loves this stuff and ideally I would be all for it, but honestly I don't really have any issues with the wireless currently (atleast recently I think it has been pretty good). I'm not sure what it is like during the day using it for long period of time though. 

If everyone else is down, I will split it. Also who gets said router when we move out?

Good question about who would get the router when we move out....we can sell it to microcenter when we move out

my biggest problem with the wireless is that i don't get it consistently in my room.  Also, the chromecast has issues when watching HBO sometimes, but I can't say for sure whether that is a router problem or not.  i have heard other people complain about getting booted off occasionally.

I'm fine with this.  I've noticed the internet cutting out sometimes

Doesn't comcast provide a replacement wireless router for free?

No, they only give a modem. Plus they give crappy routers that are basically cover a studio apartment

[Derek Hall]

that email is a contradiction

[Jayanth Shivaprakash]

Sorry they do not give routers...just modems.
