Yeah real life really kinda got in the way for a long time, but i'm back to it, and am very excited to see where this can go now that i'm at a different stage in life!

Ok, here's the results.

Well this is embarrassing. Looks like the server I was running my tests on previously was somehow shit. Still, even running tests on my ISP server from my PC I get similar results as previously.

Felt the same back then but decided to go ahead and already try to figure out what I wanted for a professional career. Many people doesn't know what to do after the general school/education so I guess you could spend some time ln that and get ahead of it. Then once your current education is done, you can jump right onto the next.
 
with that said, thank god i'm done with school  

Have you tried this? It's still weird that this is even happening.
 

Finally got my internet up and running in my new home. My isp lent me a D-Link Wireless AC1200 Dual Band Gigabit Router for the time being. I think it overheated already after I uploaded around 250 pics to my dropbox lol as the speed went tits up. Anyway, I'm sold on the Netgear Nighthawk R7000 Gonna get it in a week or so.

Friends and I have had no qualms with our R7000's as of yet. One friend is even still running the stock Netgear firmware.
 
Issues (or lack thereof):
Mine has been up for 37 days solid. Would be longer if we didn't have a power outage.
Tech savvy friend has been running the same Tomato Shibby version (v138 AIO) that I am running, and he's got no complaints.
Now, the friend running the stock firmware isn't super tech savvy, so navigating the interface wasn't super easy for him.
 
The unit I had my boss purchase for their family-run business is running DD-WRT and hasn't dropped connections often.
(it only drops them because it's shared with the kids, and they overload it with so many connections that my head wants to explode.)
I might install a secondary router for the kids PC's, and throttle the crap out of them, or get a PowerLine AV kit to connect to the residential line upstairs.
 
I actually forgot to mention that the R7000 is the router we unofficially installed in the tech centre at the retail store I used to work at.
We had to supplement the "upgraded" in-store WiFi with something that could actually handle our 50+ demo display computers...
Needless to say, it handled between 50-70 on-shelf demo display computers, including a slew of Apple devices, and our personal phones.
It also never dropped connections, and I believe the highest number of devices I saw connected over WiFi was around 113 or so.
Oh, I'd also like to note that it can reach the breakroom about 100ft away through 3 walls from where the router is located.
 
Length of Ownership:
My unit has been in service for just over 2 years as I said. I did have reboot and crashing issues, but that was configuration stupidity on my part.
The tech savvy friend and family business only bought theirs within the last 8 months, and they appear to be the same hardware revision as mine.
The non-so-savvy friend has had his for about 1.5 years, and I haven't been called over there to look at it so that's good.
As far as I know, the unit at the retail store I used to work at is still online, and supplying the demo display internet just fine.
 
If I had the money, I'd setup a MESH network using these routers around my neighborhood.
But then again, at that point one would be better off buying a single Ubiquiti Edge Router and running multiple Wireless Access Points from it.

The netgear r7000 actually uses good hardware but to make the most of it you have to install custom firmware. My recommendation would be the r7000 with vortex fork of rmerlin firmware as you get the goodness of asus firmware rather than netgear's terrible firmware while retaining hardware acceleration which is what you will need to get 600Mb/s especially when you use PPPOE.
 
Its not to do with the CPU rather the wireless chips that matter for wireless performance and to some extent the design. Netgear makes good hardware but have bad firmware while asus makes both good hardware and firmware. Even the asus AC68U is also a good choice too so its up to you which one to get. What matters is whether or not you will get 600Mb/s of NAT with PPPOE out of it and any other features you want from it.

HELLO THERE; Fellow R7000 Addict reporting in here. You ask, I'll answer! All I demand is 1 (one) cookie and a beer.
No, but seriously, I settled on the R7000 in late 2014, and love it so much I've had friends buy them as well. (Always on sale, of course.)
Please keep in mind that custom firmware doesn't mean the range or speed will improve, but gives you more features for free.
 
I used to use the Kong-AC DD-WRT build on it, but that started to become a little buggy as they kept releasing beta builds and stuff.
(Build r29300 is decent enough, and from September of this year, so it would work just fine.)
There is a basic readme here for Kong-AC firmware, but it's pretty barebones.
You might want to familiarize yourself with the DD-WRT Wiki Entry on the Netgear R7000 first.
There is also a list of Kong R7000 Configuration Best Practices or Working Solutions located on the forums to check out.
 
I now use Tomato-based Shibby firmware since I've found it to be easier than DD-WRT for home use, and easy is good because I'm lazy.
(Shibby is one of the guys who continued development of the original Tomato-WRT firmware when the original dev stepped down in 2011.)
It's a lot more Javascript heavy than DD-WRT, which means less page refreshes when changing settings.  And it's pretty too.

 
The other good thing is that the R7000 has exposed serial headers on the mainboard - this means it's essentially unbrickable.
If you ever put it in a state of poop-fart herp-derp mode, you can unbrick it as long as it powers on and the bootloader works.
(The bootloader is not something you can easily modify on a router, so if it powers up, there's a bootloader running.)
Now, I've never had to serial recover any of the 5+ routers I currently own that have DD-WRT on them, but it's good to know.
 
RMerlin was my second choice of firmware when I started looking for an alternative to DD-WRT, but I stuck with whatever worked first.
As @System Error Message has said, it does keep things more stock based, which might be good if you're not super technical.

RMerlin firmware keeps things as stock as possible. Openwrt is good but you lose hardware NAT which you will need for your speeds, unless you want to spend more to get a real router.

as long as the firmware can be installed via the update firmware field on stock firmware. In order to support 600Mb/s you will need hardware acceleration so only firmwares like RMerlin's firmware support it as it uses the same base as the stock asus firmware.
 
If anyone mentions something like the ERL avoid it as you dont have the skill for it and more expensive asus routers (like the ac3200 and newer) can do NAT with adaptive QoS.

You can brick the router if it goes bad. Thats why you triple read all the directions before you do anything and follow them to the letter. Ive installed DDWRT on my router, as the 2.4Ghz radio would drop out. Was going to go buy an Archer C9 for $130. Installed the 3rd party firmware and it saved me $130. 
 
 

anything from this list is capable of supplying >600mbit connection over 2.4ghz, 5ghz and lan. any other functionality you would like, like esata so you can use it as a NAS? or good open source support so you can flash stuff like WRT? or would you prefer a set and forget system? also how many lan ports do you prefer? just ignore that its in a different language, the router names are the important part. most specs are in english anyways.

This guy plays a real FPS that require skill (Quake Live, 17+ years Quake experience in general) and has an above average video production quality. Most other reviewers out there are either all rounders who game casually, or are serious competitors but have poor video format and quality. 

It will be made. We wired the money to G8 last week.
 
It will be available in a few months
 
It will likely cost around $100USD and I am hoping to have it available from the same resellers as the LTT edition Noctua fans.

Samsung can definitely pull it off. They were already beefing up the eMMC in the Galaxy S6 so with a bit of luck they were working on something similar for the S7. If they weren't then we will probably see it in the S8.
 
 
Just a little note though, while the sequential read and writes are fantastic (not as fantastic as 1800MBps according to Anandtech, more like 400MBps read and 165MBps writes), the other measurements such as small random reads/writes are actually a tiny bit lower (very tiny bit) than the eMMC solutions used in Samsung's phones.
Both Samsung's eMMC and the iPhone's storage gets destroyed by a good desktop SATA SSD though. The 840 Pro gets something like 50 times higher random writes than the iPhone 6S (100MBps vs 2MBps).

Hmm, I would blame the wiring of the house.
You could try a different usb header on the motherboard? Or turn off Surge protection in the bios, however I personally wouldn't do that.
Is your computer / case grounded?
 
It could be the wiring, but because it's USB 3 it's using more power than your 1.1 - 2.0 USBs so becomes more pronounced.
 
Could try a surge protector or / and a UPS.

So many replies in such a short manner, wow! Thanks guys!

After digging around for info on the recommended phones I think Sony Xperia Z3+ is the best bet here (unless iOS were the way to go). Has an sd card slot, the longest battery life, a nice 5.2" screen and kicks buttocks on benchmarks. The only downside is that it hasn't arrived to my country yet.

Just tested it out. Yes you can and quite well at that. You can have up to 4 player couch co-op AND you can mix controllers. I just tested it while going for 3 players in which one uses the keyboard the other one an Xbox 360 controller and the last one an Acme GA02. Seems to work fine.

I'm glad it reached you successfully! Cheers!
EDIT: Just realized, the box it came in has now almost traveled around the globe lol East Asia->Europe->North America

Update 3:
 
Great news! Thanks so much to @Caphalem I am proud to announce the next addition to the collection! An Intel Core 2 Duo! I'm super excited to add this piece to the collection and i'm super thankful to Caphalem for sending it on over! Ill begin mounting it very soon! 

Honestly?!.... No
I played it on my PS3 when it came out when I heard nothing about PC version.
 
GTA V was an awesome game, I played it and I squeeze the life right out of that game, I played everything I played all the Sports, all the Side Mission , completed Main Story, buy all the Properties, Reach LVL 100+ (Legit), Did all the Online mission I even got it Platinum Trophy the Playstation Official App told me only 0.1% platinum that game on PlayStation I'm a feel amazed really.
 
I just hope they fix some of the bug with some side mission not popping up in the game that the only problem I had with the game. That I had found some solution to fix on the internet.
 
But I will gladly pay for it again once it get down to 30 dollars on steam.
