Anybody knows any good routers that we can use with tomato firmware in maxis fiber ?

Mainly use in office, so will expect plenty of connections, need high spec router, also should be flash-able with tomato, since many settings in the old router can just copy over, and they provide basic loggings.

Thanks.

Budget ~1k+

prefer brand asus.

But my aim is for company, 50 person or 200+ devices using at any time, maybe a bit too much for personal use.

Go for ASUS AX82U or AX86U (need to fork extra cash on this). If you are looking for better flexibility, go for the HND platforms supported by Asus-Merlin. This firmware is slightly superior compared to the stock ASUSWRT firmware.

Things you should know:
1. RT-AX82U's merlin firmware is a fork by an Italian developer based in Finland. (you can download the firmware here => gnuton ASM fork
2. RT-AX86U by default supported by the OG developer of Asus-Merlin firmware.

I personally haven't used RT-AX82U with ASM (asus-merlin) fork version. So I wouldn't dare to comment about the performance of the firmware. Else, I've a good experience with Asus-Merlin firmware.

Trust this helps. Cheers. thumbup.gif

That's one hell firmware. I am not surprised since asuswrt is based on tomato long time ago.
