 |
I've been using this Buffalo WZR-600DHP for a long time now.
I wanted an opinion on if I should attempt an update or just buy a new device.
Wireless has never really been a noticeable issue for me. We have a couple dozen devices, but I guess I never noticed performance issues. We dont stream a lot over wifi, but we do have a number of wireless security cameras.
My main issue is actually ethernet. I am trying to stream SteamLink using a rpi but I'm constantly getting disconnects. It says it can connect at 90mb\s (over cat 5), which should be plenty.
Its currently running the latest official build of 'DD-WRT v24SP2-MULTI (11/04/12) std - build 20180'
This site says I can update to 'v3.0 [Beta] Build: 40559'
It will be a lot of hassle to reconnect all of my wifi devices, so if I wont see any performance benefits then I will just look for a new device.
I spent basically all day yesterday trying to find a replacement device, but I kind of gave up because there are no 'new' choices made in the last few years under 100 bucks. |
