I have an older version of 1043nd, been like 3 years. It works fine even with 20mbps unifi running through it now. Stock firmware still.

I have an asus n12, crap as hell.. advertise as having repeater function, it never worked for me. Had to change to 3rd party firmware for it to work for my intended purpose..

I also have a tplink 8961nd, the older model. Used it when still using 4mpbs streamyx, modded a fan on to of it and it can maintain the lousy snr of the 4mpbs and 24/7 bt.

By far the best router i have is a linksys wrt54gl, it is still running after almost 10 years. No such thing as hang or wifi drop on this lil beast.
