Line Upgraded - what next
Posted: Tue Oct 09, 2018 7:01 am
I see some similar discussions but not that I can fully answer my questions so sorry for what maybe a similar post. My ISP has just upgraded the line from 100/100 fibre to 500/500 fibre and now of course my TP-Link WDR-3600 which is running Gargoyle and which I use in place of the ISP provided DIR-850L is the bottleneck, currently getting around 110/110 on speed test.
The ISP are going to provide an upgraded router in a week or so a TP-Link Archer AC1200, I don't think this is one of the devices supported by gargoyle and if the local forums are to be believed it too struggles on a 500Mbps link to achieve full upload. I'd love to be wrong here.
My local computer shops only stock basic consumer grade routers, they can order in specially various TP-Link devices from the C2300, C3150, C5400 or C5400x none of which I could find in the supported list if I wanted to run Gargoyle on them.
The alternative is I ship something like https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B01MF9OQC8 from the UK when we have visitors in December which I am sure is supported if I want to flash Gargoyle to it.
So far I'd like to stick with Gargoyle, the current device was needing regular reboots before I chucked the OEM FW and now apart from if I make any changes I can basically forget it's there. Having the VPN over it for when I am away is a bonus too.
I'd appreciate any thoughts
