I second a TL-WR1043ND or TL-WDR4300 with OpenWRT; have hundreds deployed with only one failure, and that was a random bit flip in flash.
The TL-WR1043ND is a great device if you only need 2.4GHz coverage. However, 2.4GHz is so heavily used that most of us REALLY need 5GHz coverage too.
Which is why I mentioned TL-WDR4300, a dual-band 802.11n router.
Most of our installs are 1043nd as most customers have no idea how their WiFi works much less how to grunt a greeting properly and have so much money they don't have neighbors.
Any experinces with dd-wrt and a TL-WDR4300 ?
DD-WRT is garbage. Additionally, I don't think it works on this device - if it does, great, who cares? You can use OpenWRT on this device.
rollatorwieltje, yes, I see this with stock firmware, anywhere from a week to a couple months. OpenWRT was worse for a while, but 14.07 final is better. If you are using it only as a wireless router and not using USB or care about WPS (or AOSS, something I recommend disabling anyway), try that.
Ubiquiti Edgerouters and associated wireless bridges and airstations. So far, I feel these are the best in the business.
Been meaning to try one, but I don't like closed equipment, and also Ubiquiti loves to overpromise and underdeliver. We use a lot of UniFi and airmax gear though.
eas, no sense upgrading now if it works, you probably wouldn't notice a difference unless you have >100mbit WAN speeds. Wait.
