Got it from smallnetbuilder's review of the RB750Gr3. Specifically the part where they compared routing speeds with hw offload off.

As for the ERX, I'm just presuming they're comparable since the RB750Gr3 has the same SoC.

Well, I don't put much weight on SNB figures in terms of practicality & real use case (at least those used by me & acquaintance). The CTF disabled figures is kinda irrelevant. Without hardware offload, the soc/cpu inside a router will have to run at high speed. It will really depends on the raw cpu power & processing latency. Some soc does have DPI hw offload & them leaving it enabled for 1 & disabled for another router in their CTF chart just show their unfamiliarity to those smb routers.

My point is, do not blindly follow those figures if it doesn't match your use case. If the router is significant under performed in your use case, it doesn't mean that it is bad but rather you have chosen the wrong router for your use case. There are other factors but I don't want to make a lengthy rant on this.

I have all routers above so maybe I can give you some insights.

C3150 have some seriously good wireless ability. Stability is good, I own one and a few people at the TP-Link thread have good experience with it.
RT-AC68U is a bit old at this point but the features it offers are amazing. AsusWRT is still the best in the industry in terms of features.
Avoid AC87U, the 5Ghz wireless is known for being problematic due to the Quantenna chipset.
Mikrotik is the hardcore choice. Fully fledged networking features but not easy to tame. If that's your thing, you can consider that.

It's all about preference. I would go for the C3150 just for the sake of wireless performance. If it's a home router, you probably do not need those routing features in a Mikrotik router anyway. Wireless performance is much more important.

Currently eyeing c3150 and asus rt-ac1200g+, any advices on which one is better to get?

The C3150 is 3 times the price of AC1200G+

It depends on your budget.

Not problem with the budget. Based on your experience with both devices, which one is better? Thanks

I would recommend the C3150 v2. I am using that and it is very stable. Get it here from a reliable seller: http://www.lazada.com.my/tp-link-archer-c3...53bfnEzAjv&mp=1

K, lady and gentleman....who is willing to test BETA firmware that might fix C1200 V1 (EU) random restart issue?

EditV3:
Note: All router settings will reset after updating to new firmware, please backup the configuration at Advanced, Sytem Tools, Backup&Restore, update the the new correct firmware and restore the configuration later. Much less trouble.

I will be happy to evaluate it as I have a spare.

Finally US V2 get new firmware. Hope it solved the always reboot problem.

why i go inside room then no wifi signal, issit router problem? unifi original router

Is archer C5 MU-MIMO?

what is the distance of your room from your router?

which version are you testing? dont mind share!

i think 20ft only

how do we actually cpu load on the router? is there a command or something?

Just torrent heavily, play some 4K videos, and your CPU will be pushes to the limit.

how do i see how many % usage on the router cpu? i dont see any section reading this

"Advanced" tab.

archer c5 cant see cpu load
