Re: Do I need to retire my Archer c7 v2?

FWIW, I did get the Netgear WAX202 and put the latest, stable firmware, OpenWrt on it (22.03.2 ramips/mt7621). It definitely did the trick for me of getting closer to the speeds my Xfinity plan is capable of. To really get close I have to turn on "flow offloading," but that bypasses some o...
