If you are just looking for something that works without much configuration, I would recommend the TP Link Archer C3150v2. I have been running it for about a month now, who restarts and no issues. It is one of the best routers for me, in terms of coverage, and its internal antivirus does a good job preventing spam, malware, and even intrusions to my CCTV. It just protects your entire network and devices.

The two Asus routers that you describe is also protected by the same antivirus company, Trend Micro, that is proctecting the TP Link C3150v2, and Asus routers are generally reliable. I would also recommend them, if you can get them cheap, but they are slightly older than the C3150 v2, and they can be pricier as well.

Mikrotik is another great brand if you are someone who likes to configure and do your own settings. I will be eventually changing to a Mikrotik router when I upgrade to 100Mbps in the near future. I don’t need it now yet, but have been learning and will be getting my own Mikrotik to explore in the next few weeks.

So, it is up to you, based on your own preferences.

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

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

Yes, you can’t see CPU load on the C5.

Hi bro, it is only for US firmware unfortunately and TP Link does have a disclaimer that if there are any warranty issues and your firmware does not correspond on what is released for your local version, it voids the warranty so I wouldn’t update the firmware yet until it is released for the Malaysian website.

New update guys, EU beta version released. See here for a write up by bro BookerLewitt:

“They do have the EU version (which is what we use) on the FAQ.

Just updated mine (unifi EU V1) to the beta firmware. It wipes out all your settings, so before upgrading, make sure you keep your unifi username and password handy.

Turns out the unifi specific firmware makes the router way shittier than it already is. After upgrading to the beta firmware, I noticed two big thing:
1. I no longer have to deal with the shitty @unifi thing on my SSID. It's no longer there.
2. There's a check for update button on the firmware settings page.

Waiting for the Malaysian specific update might take a while (and there's two version locally, the TM and Time version), so if you're comfortable dealing with your router settings, I dont see any issue with upgrading with the firmware they provided. If shit go south, just flash the old firmware back.”

No idea bro.

They removed it for some unknown reason, so use at your own risk. See here for link: http://static.tp-link.com/2018/201801/2018...180101_Beta.zip

Yes that is the beta that was released a few weeks ago.

Hahaha

You gave me a good laugh bro. But this is exactly my sentiments. I rather switch to a third party router than have ‘@unifi’ included on my SSID.

Thanks bro. As I say before, the Archer C3150 is one of the best, if not, the best router for its price range. If you get it, you won’t need to buy another router for quite some time.

Very nice bro. Good find. I don’t think you will need to buy the AC3150 now as this router is sufficient for your daily use.

Archer c7 v4 is good enough for your daily use, and much better than the C1200. I would recommend it.

2.4 is congested and full of interference so is not optimal for getting the full speed of 100Mbps. You can try increasing the bandwidth from 20Mhz to 40Mhz, but if the wireless network in your area is congested, you can forget getting full sleeked unless you go on the 5GHz band,

Have you tried rebooting and see here: https://forum.lowyat.net/index.php?showtopi...post&p=88480977

Google is your friend: http://www.cfos.de/en/cfos-personal-net/po...rcher-c1200.htm

Ah, maybe it would be easier if you have uPNP enabled on your router. See here:

But, why do you need to port toward for torrent? It should be an automatic process for your torrent client to find a port to use, unless you have a firewall that is set to block all connections for the torrent client. Try to include the client on the firewall exclude list.

Do you have a firewall of any sort? Try a different torrent client as well. Deluge or Vuze or utorrent.

No to archer c50 being same to C5. This is the older version, and you can see that from the price. Tenda is actually not too bad, but TP-Link is slightly better. AC1200 does not mean speed. It is just a number. You have to see your budget and decide what you can afford.

Using latest firmware? If you are, then the router is getting overheated. Try to elevate it somehow or cool it down. If it still hangs, it is considered a crappy router to be honest.
