If I was to get an external router?
 

Any ideas what the best one would be? upto a max of around £100 from Amazon I already have the RT-N56U but use the hub3. the wifi is pretty good and can't complain over the router or the signal I just wondered if a newer router would benefit me any better.

Gaming, surfing, streaming and I use both Ethernet and wifi

If you've no complaints and it does what you require why bother?

If it ain't broke, don't try to fix it.

Got to agree with the above seeing as you have an Asus unit already but if you really want to upgrade then after a quick search on Amazon as requested..

RT-N66U £79.95 > https://www.amazon.co.uk/ASUS-RT-N66...ds=asus+router

RT-N66W £74.99 > https://www.amazon.co.uk/ASUS-RT-N66...ds=asus+router

RT-AC1200G £76.88 > https://www.amazon.co.uk/ASUS-RT-AC1...%2Brouter&th=1

RT-AC55U £63.99 - https://www.amazon.co.uk/ASUS-RT-AC5...ds=asus+router

RT-AC51U £39.99 > https://www.amazon.co.uk/ASUS-RT-AC1...%2Brouter&th=1

I've had the RT-N66U since launch and paid around £250ish, well worth the cost and still going strong.

My only question is when I get the SH3 as I'm getting 200meg, will it be better to put it into modem mode (assuming it can do that), or keep my trusty Rt-N66U?

Re: If I was to get an external router?
 

yeah you'll be good for modem mode with the SH3. Definitely linked that bad boy up :D

Thanks I'll take a look where does the Hub3 fall into those?

I've got an Amazon gift voucher when I swapped mobile contracts there isn't much I want at the moment and thought maybe an external modem would improve things a bit not that I can complain.

I'm not entirely sure but it is an AC unit. Comparing it could result in a non AC device out doing it. Asus units are rock.

wait until black Friday, cyber Monday next month. Something you like might pop up :)

Re: If I was to get an external router?
 

I thought SH3 currently had a firmware problem in modem mode. Hourly dropouts or something?

Re: If I was to get an external router?
 

apparently thats fixed. I run my SH3 in combo mode sorry no first hand experience with that port flapping crap.

What is combo mode?

I'm in the process of chasing my upgrade to 200meg, and getting the SH3 delivered for self install :D

router modem mode. others call it router mode.
