A separate access point(s) allow you to have a generally better software based router. My various purchases of wifi-firewall/routers over the years have left me generally underwhelmed. On 2023-03-08 11:50, William Park via talk wrote:
You mean, dedicated access point? The 85M/30M limit is through wired connection to my router. I get the same limit via wireless. That's why, I was thinking to upgrade the router.

As has been suggested by others break your wifi from your router.
I use Sophos on a VM to run my home firewall. Its a nice product but you have to dance around a bit to get a free license.
I also have some VMs running OpenWRT. OpenWRT is not the best firewall in the world but can run on a large number of hardware platforms. You can use it to repurpose an existing computer or load onto a network appliance.

Hi all,
I was upgraded (by my ISP) from Cable 75 (75M/10M) to Cable 100 (100M/30M). It turns out my router (Asus RT-N66U) maxes out at 85M/30M. Connecting directly to the modem, I get full 100M/30M.
So, it's time for a new router. It's been long time since I shopped for a router. Which one do you recommend? --- Post to this mailing list talk@gtalug.org Unsubscribe from this mailing list https://gtalug.org/mailman/listinfo/talk
