Wise Old Owl
I was happily using the much venerated TP-LINK W8968. After a few unfortunate encounters with lightning filled weather it has given up. (It overheats like crazy emitting burning plastic smell within 5 minutes of switching on)
My backup D-LINK too got fried by lightning yesterday night.
I am looking for a replacement ADSL modem router to be bought locally in Kerala or online.
My budget is within 5 K but considering that I have fried 2 already am considering going back to the same model W8968. So if the price feature ratio is not compelling I would go for the same model.
1. I need USB for storage.
2. 5 GHz/2.4 GHz support for high transfer rates.
3. Class ac is not a must but preferable for future proofing if within budget.
4. Guest mode is needed.
5. Physical wifi switch is needed.
6. Dual antennae may be better (not sure of the total advantage)
There is some confusion about later hardware versions of W8968. Does it still support USB storage?
