[Shivam255]

what do you guys think is it worth spending extra on gigabit wifi router? will their be any speed advantage?

 

[Sushubh]

Yup. Get a dual band router with gigabit ethernet ports.

 

[Shivam255]

any recommendations?

 

[Sushubh]

Hard to recommend. Good solid options are pricey and too much for most users. Best is to specify a budget and people here might be able to recommend some models.

around 5k.

any other options as it runs on a realtek chipset, it will never be supported by dd-wrt or open wrt.

 

[salaxzar]

You can try Xiaomi router then. I purchased it from ebay and it's working well. Dual band.

 

[Shivam255]

but it doesn't have gigabit lan ports

 

[salaxzar]

[Shivam255]

[Sushubh]
