Hi @ll,
I'm looking for a replacement for my old, good and stable WRT54GL.
I only need 2,4GHz and 4 Lan Ports (Gbit would be nice).
It should be not so expensive and can be a used one.
With DD-WRT compatibility in Germany.
Who can help
EDIT:
I had also an Archer C8 v1, and could become another one for nearly 30€. Would be good, or there better solutions?
I would always look for a router with 128 MB flash and 256 MB RAM
Broadcom is closed source so not a favourite of the community but routers like the Netgear R6400v1, R6400v2, R6700v3, R7000, Asus AC68U etc. are still reliable work horses
The 7800 is too expensive and oversized for my SmartHome
I'm on an R7000 for my Archer C8 and an R6400 for the WRT54.
I could become an R6400 v1 for 38€ (today), also good choise?
That is not bad the R6400v1 has a dual core 800 MHz CPU, the R6400v2 (and the R7000) have the same CPU but clocked at 1000 MHz
I read it, the v2 had only 200MHz more CPU, but thad should be no problem. I also think there is no v3, so I think in your first post you mean R6400 v1 / v2
THX alot!
Bought the 6400, pickup later and will flash this evening
The R7000 will look later again, and must be send, because there is nothing in my nearly range.
