Better range and speed
I have been using my trusty ole Linksys WRT54G for the longest time, just because it had all the options I needed, and has been rock solid. However, range with it was not good enough to reliably get to my garage. I've tried other routers, but they performed about the same, and some had less options. This one was rated as having good range and speed, so decided to give it a go, as I got it pretty cheap on here. Wow, great connection out in the garage. And not only that, ran speed tests at various far corners of the house and garage, with results almost doubling my old router. This one has 5Ghz speed, whereas my old one didn't, but I was skeptical on how the higher frequency would penetrate the couple house walls, aluminum siding, and into the garage. It does very good, with reception to the far corner of my garage, it's detached. I'm running just over 20 devices with my google homes and chromecasts and other odd stuff. My PC's are hardwired to a Linksys wrt1200ac, with a wire ran to the TP link at the other end of the house, and it handles wireless tx/rx, while the linksys does the actual dhcp and stuff. I have been using it only a few weeks so far, but it's been solid, no complaints.
