Bandwidth Place 2

lol

Their chipsets are very similar, except the R7000 is higher clocked, at 1GHz instead of 800MHz.

CPU power is the main bottleneck for the OpenVPN server that I run on the router, so I'll take all that I can get. This is me lazying out of finally making my router be a pfSense-based PC.

lol

I still just use the comcast provided "Modem // Router // Phone" combo unit.

I have a cisco router (read consumer, not a true cisco) that I could set up and flash with DD-WRT... makes a great little router but
I have no need. Not yet, maybe not ever. For now, she sits. I guess I should at least flash it while the guide is still findable.

I suppose if it ain't broke, don't fix it?

If it is doing what it is suppose to do then why mess with it?

Sometimes "what it's supposed to do" and "what I want it to do" disagree

Oh Dragon, I should mention that when I got the R7000, it was bundled with an HDHomeRun: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.a ... 6815345015

The two together for $220 made it a no-brainer.

lol

OK I should have added "and be happy with what it is doing." to my statement.

Dammit Bigger numbers all aroundddd!!

That is one ugly router. My router gives my 5 of 6 bars outside on my stoop. About 50' line of site. thru 3 walls, one an outside wall. And mine looks better. Altho if needed, they are really good numbers.

You think that's ugly? How about this wireless video card?

Yep, that's ugly too.

I dunno about that router being ugly, I guess it's not "nice looking" but man $250+ on a router?

That's a lot of dough, I don't think I've ever paid over $100 for one. Then again, I've only ever bought
2 routers in my life.
