The Fiberhome SR104F is a decent router with average wireless coverage, but certainly better than the D-Link DIR3060Z in terms of overall stability. I've recorded 63 days of uptime with the fiberhome model compared to 1 week uptime with D-Link. Maybe others would get different result than me. Since I don't want to waste cash on buying another router, I just settle with stock router. As long as I have a mesh unit to extend wireless coverage consider good already.
What is your definition of powerful router? I believe when you said powerful router, you are comparing consumer grade router with enterprise grade router. Most consumer grade routers are pretty average and most of the features are underutilized, not to mention, some providers stopped providing updates after certain period, except for ASUS; and only supported router gets RMerlin's fw support which is more superior than stock asuswrt.
What is the percentile of your internet usage on daily basis? Did you utilize 100% of your subscribed speed with
your powerful router all the time? What I mean is, not only when uploading and downloading, but other features that comes with the router.
Yes I agree, I got two of it during the SWU 3.0 package, sold off one at a good price. Kept one and use it as another mesh node with ethernet backhaul.
The only down part is that the UI is not user friendly and not much of functions but it performs well with even better range than my current deco x50.
Other than that, can roam perfectly even by setting it as a mesh node.
And there's also small trick to create multiple SSID with this Fiberhome router for those who intends to use specific band for certain devices. Especially when you have a gaming device or CCTV at home.
