apple 5th gen air.exp bge'd to wndr3800, adequate?
Posted: Wed Nov 06, 2019 3:04 pm
hoping for advice regarding current hardware setup.
kids (x4 all with phone & laptop) frequently complain internet is laggy.
Current setup is wndr3800 flashed with 1.11.0 as gateway & wired DHCP to (optus cable) CG3000 modem.
Most users (kids + Mum) seated in one large room adjacent to wndr3800, connecting wirelessly using 5ghz (or 2.4).
Wifi Analyser used select best bands.
QoS up+down enabled.
Users (who are not given admin rights by school to their laptops) forced to use opendns.
Gargoyle also used to impose time restrictions.
Ethernet from wndr to apple airport extreme 5th gen (bge mode) in my office, I use ethernet. My speeds mostly ok.
In an effort to boost internet speeds for kids will adding (via ethernet) something like airport extreme 6th gen or linksys AC1900 on the other side of the large study help much?
Any (other) advice greatly appreciated.
ps Can I also run a VPN?
Intending to migrate to nbn in 4-6 months
thanks
