Despite being an AT member for a long long time I think this may be my first foray into the networking room...
Be gentle!
I am essentially looking for a 2 cheap routers (second hand is fine) that do Wireless N, have both 2.4ghz and 5ghz frequencies and I can flash with DD-WRT.
Lately I've been looking at the technology around the house and we're using more wireless gizmos and starting to use nice bits of tech like Chromecast and Amazon Prime. My router has been dropping some wireless devices suddenly, Wifi Analyzer app for Android tells me that the 2.4ghz frequency is quite heavily populated around the area and switching channels has given me minor success, and although signal in certain areas are 'sufficient' I'd like to add another router into the mix and provide strengthened coverage in the lower signal areas.
DD-WRT is quite an odd beast and having played around with a DD-WRT router in a similar setting I just love the options that it opens up over and above what we're given by manufacturers. The UI is also a heck of a lot better than what I've used on Netgear and TP Link routers in the past.
Thoughts?
