8BITADDICTION

yeah i have dsl and trying to get rogers to say they have an issue is near impossible.

the modem is getting replaced aswell, i have someone coming in to have a look at the connections too.

so basically my entire setup will consist of the modem, the router, Wireless AP, and a gigabit switch for additional ports. thank you for all of your help and information. i will update this once everything is set up and working!

my place is a single story apartment that's 884 sqft, the crappy ISP modem router has no issue covering the entire apartment but its so limited in port forwarding or cloud storage setups i always disable the router portion.

i kinda wish i could see the range, they don't really mention that, is there any site that tells you the estimate?

Thanks for the information, I will make my decision and order tonight, i need to get this fixed soon haha

also with this setup, can you still access the LAN network to say copy files from other PC's if connected to wi-fi? i don't see why it wouldn't but i just want to confirm.

okay if i go for this how is this combination?

Okay, my internet speed is 350 down and 20 up, and all of the routers last about a year and then start to fail (wifi stops showing up, wired connections fail to connect.) And to fix it I have to restart the router, and that usually fixes for a few days before it does it again. But the Asus n66u was faulty from the start because of overheating. The Netgear r4300 and R4500 failed differently from each other, the R4500 had it's wifi card die in it. And the R4300 fails hold a connection to the modem, it drops every 5 minutes. (No other router does that) Then I have about 4 Asus NT-12 that just stop getting power but that seems to be a thing with them.

I live in Ontario and the closes store had the AP starting at 230 and the 4 port router was 150, all before taxes.

Yeah the ubiquiti stuff would be nice but to get enough ports it would end up being about 500-600 bucks unfortunately, I don't know if I can do that at the moment.

I'll have to see if it's available near me, if not I will have to order it. But I'll wait until I get a few more suggestions just in case.

Sorry I was typing in a hurry I just mean a gigabit router with dual band wi-fi aswell

I have been running into issues with many routers, Netgear WNDR4300 and 4500 and Countless ASUS routers including the RT-N66U. All of them have failed in one way or another, or just flat out have software bugs that I have tried to fix. Is there any routers that are gigabit and 5g connections that you might suggest would be better? At this point in time I don't care on price as long as it isn't like 800 bucks.

Also i feel like i should point out that it was working perfectly fine for a month after getting my gpu, only within the last week did this issue start.
