Hi,
First thanks for your firmware, ive been using it since the tp-link wr1043v1 all the way up to the tp-link archer c5 (flashed to c7)
Anyway, since our internet connection is upgraded from 200mbit/200mbit to 400mbit/400mbit, i would like to upgrade my archer c7 router. The c7 only does 180 mbit max on the wan port so it is time for a upgrade.
And well it is a must that it can run gargoyle, i like the interface and gives me all the options i need.
So i was investigating wich routers had more cpu power and had an option to buy a 2017 Linksys WRT3200ACM secondhand for 50 euro, its a big upgrade and pretty cheap. I thought lets do this, untill i came beware that this router isn't supported by gargoyle 1.14 (and open wrt 22.03) because of the duplicate data on all ports bug.
Also there seems to be some problems with wifi.
So my question is, which router that will run gargoyle is a good upgrade alternative for my tp-link archer c7? It seems that mostly only old models are advised, and besides the linksys options, i dont see much models with better cpu power then the tp-link archer series.
Thanks,
