Budget router for Gargoyle

Post by KyonV2 »

Hello,

I was hoping you could provide me with some help. I'm looking for a budget device that can support Gargoyle. What I need the most is stability. From what I've read TL-WR1043ND is the best but it's very hard to find a shop that still sales it. Any input would be very appreciated

you get what you pay for

That router is cheap but much under powered

Well, importing it from another country is not an option.

There's few options in the shop I'm playing to make the purchase:
TP-Link Archer C1200
TP-Link Archer C2
TP-Link Archer VR400
TP-Link TL-MR3620
D-Link DWR-118
Netgear R6120
Zyxel NBG6604
Linksys E2500-EE
D-Link DIR-842

Again, what is the most important for me is stability.

Without looking too hard at your list, off the top of my head none of those are supported.
When you’re looking for third party firmware support, often what the local shop has on the shelf isn’t going to cut it.

You can reference supported routers from the downloads section here, or look at Openwrt supported table of hardware (which might require you to roll your own firmware)

Please be respectful when posting. I do this in my free time on a volunteer basis.

also depends on your internet speed

If you have fast internet lower CPU routers will get overloaded.
