Comment on Ask HN: Which wireless router do you use at home?

Comments

I had a quite pricey $120 Asus n66u as primary router and a cheap, TP link router, as backup, lying in the closet.

At one point, the Asus started to become unreliable and unstable so I disabled it and put the $40 TP Link instead.

Now, about 3 years later, I completely forgot about my router setup and this TP link is rocking it every day. I'm really impressed by the brand. I only had to pull the powercord to quickly reset it once, during several years. I can not say this of most other brands I've worked with in the past.

You can run OpenWRT etc on it. It's quite similar to the legendary WRT54G.

I also bought a Wifi 4G portable router from TP Link later, and this is also high quality hardware at affordable prices.
