pufthemajicdragon Posted April 9, 2014 Share Posted April 9, 2014 I need a new wifi router. Something that supports at least 802.11n, dual band preferable. But here's the kicker.... I need one that can do multiple wifi subnets and QOS. I am so tired of the never-ending bandwidth wars with my roommates. I pay the internet bill, so I want to make sure that my games and my movies (aka, my computers) get priority. I tried putting ipFire on an old netbook, but couldn't get it to work, and with my new laptop and other devices supporting the n standard and 5ghz, I should just get a decent retail router that supports these standards as well. Does anyone have any recommendations? The QOS is the hard part - most routers have some basic QOS, but it's all protocol based with no way to prioritize specific clients or subnets. I want to isolate my computers on a separate subnet and prioritize all traffic for that subnet - or at least a range of clients if I can't do the subnet thing.

kalikka Posted April 9, 2014 Share Posted April 9, 2014 (edited) I'm using Asus RT-N56U (cost me under 70$) and it has QOS like this.Unfortunately the custom firmwares don't seem to support QOS. Edited April 9, 2014 by kalikka Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
