9136GB OF VIEWS, SHARES AND LOLS
Wow, you stomped on my 6986GB
Man, I would kill for VM in my area!
Dont get me wrong my SKY MAX is good..but..man, 350mbps.
Always get 380Mb on my connection.Great whilst it works, sadly these days getting those speeds constantly are a rare occasion.
Yup, will doNice speed but remove your ip you don't want to take any chances like i did and had horrible spoofing hack attacks.
Yup, will do
I took the liberty to remove your ip address so yeah.
Everyone this is Mehulakanis speed
Thank you - am struggling with Paint 3d.
My VM superhub has been letting me down a lot lately with the wifi dropping entirely until reboots, switching between wifi and ethernet failing along with other issues so I think it's time to look in to a third party replacement and put it in modem mode.
So far I've looked at Ubiquiti (EdgeRouter or UAP with an AP) although the price is fairly high considering I only live in a one bedroom house. I use it at work and really like how easy it is to set up and it's been really reliable.
Friends have looked tried Netgear routers with custom firmware but had issues with wifi drops. Can anyone recommend anything? Ideally I don't want to spend a lot more than £100. I need it to have AC wifi and gigabit ethernet ports and be reliable.
Cheap. Fast. Good. Pick two.
For Ubiquiti stuff (EdgeRouter or USG line) you're going to pay more than your budget just for a decent wireless AP *or* the (non-wifi) router. Your nearest match would be an EdgeRouter X (~55 quid) with cut through forwarding (hardware NAT/acceleration) enabled, and a UAP AC Lite (~85 quid). Even paying more for a beefier unit (eg EdgeRouter Lite, EdgeRouter 4, USG) you're still going to struggle if you need to use DPI, QoS, or VPN. Consumer stuff just isn't very good, and as fast WAN because more widely available people are starting to bump into its limits (mostly thanks to MIPS/ARM/Cavium type CPUs).
Even with a typical consumer all in one box (router, switch, wireless AP) you'll get full speed over ethernet with hardware NAT enabled, but the wireless side won't be great. Looking on OcUK for units £100 or less, you're only getting AC1200 (which is really about 800Mbps on AC and 300Mbps on N added together).
Honestly I'd say either get VM to replace your faulty SH3 (the wifi on it isn't bad for what it is, if your unit isn't broken), or do it 'properly' and get some decent gear. With a budget set where yours is you'll probably end up with a worse solution than you started with (turning the SH3 into modem mode and replacing it with something slower).
