CubanlinkEnJI’d say try the Verizon gear and see how it performs for you. I’m running their G3100 router and two E3200 extenders and everything works flawlessly.
eastcoastsomeoneBoth the G3100 and CR1000 routers are really good.
merkator509I have this one too. If you can’t do a wired/coax backhaul between the nodes and have an older or brick house, I can’t recommend. The wireless bridge between access points is pretty horrible even like 20-30 ft from each other in my house. It works well once I added an outdoor Deco unit and ran coax extenders too, but it has way less 2.4 GHz range than our Verizon G3100 did.
Odd-Disk5924Yup brought one two weekends ago from eBay $54 nice upgrade over the g1100.
KardinalI know nobody is going to believe me, but the Verizon FIOS router is actually very very good. Guest and IOT WiFi networks, NAT/PAT, customizable DNS, even has good logging (for a DHCP drop I kept getting). It doesn't do VLANs but I don't need VLANs. And since it belongs to Verizon, I can blame them for any issues I have.
