| It appears that I have exactly the same problem as datifasulli5 with my XR500 only I didn't even get a chance to try uploading dd-wrt firmware. Mine had stock firmware (purchased used - so I don't kn ... | |

| After upgrade, all 6 in my signature became unresponsive over night. Wifi connects, but no internet, LAN, GUI, or SSH access. I've reverted all to the previous build.
Edit: I'm suspecting there was ... |

| QCA devices have received features to help with roaming, but I haven't used broadcom in a while, so I'm not sure what's there in the settings. Since only one of your devices has DD-WRT, that would onl ... | |

| I used to have a R6300v2 OCed with a 120mm fan mounted to the back. I drew the power from one of the USB ports. No PWM, but since it was a 12v fan running on 5v, it was totally silent & moved more ... | |

| As others suggested, the r7800 is a solid option (if you don't get one with bad blocks). The r7500v2 is a step down, but still a good choice. Avoid the v1. If opening the router for a serial connectio ... | |

| Take a look at the links Blkt shared. Mesh can work well, but there are currently some significant limitations on DD-WRT. Since VAPs don't work, the 1043s are especially limited (no wifi). | |
