Add And Configure Wireless Router On A Lan

I have been looking to replace my wireless gateway from Comcast for a while now. Recently some new products such as the Google Home caught my attention since they had multiple access points that are placed around your house. This setup has been used in enterprise for years. The only downfall which made me stay away was the lack of customization and advanced features. Using the Synology Router has been like no other. The user interface is the best I have every used, there are so many features and add-ons, I have yet to use them all. Some key points of the router is the 802.11ac antennas, they also operate at a newer channel so currently I am the only one in my apartment complex to be on this channel. The add-ons that are built into the router are pretty useful, my favorite is intrustion prevention since it will monitor network traffic and alert and or block traffic is reconginizes as being harmful. Overal I love this router, many of the issues I had with the range and connectivity on my old gateway have been resolved with this new router. I will continue to purchase their routers in the future. #sweepstakes

Router is easy to set up and is easy to configure. Have been using it for a week and no issues. It is faster than my previous router, without changing my ISP plan. Would definitely recommend it.

I really love it...It does need to be connected to a strong internet connection...either LAN or Wireless

Replaced my old router. Nighthawk wasn easy to install and configure.

Currently using it for subnetting muy LAN using VLANs. It has worked without issues together with my pfSense router/firewall. Good buy.

I have a Modem, Router, LAN Switch, CRT TV, HDTV, 14 gaming consoles, and a VCR hooked up on this. It has been amazing at both consolidating space & allowing me to keep everything plugged in. No issues when turning on devices, especially after having issues with a previous power strip. Strip has a reset with 15 Amp circuit breaker. My apartment was built in 1924, so it's been helpful with the bad elwctricity. *I didn't utilize the mount bracket.

We recently had fiber installed in our neighborhood. I have been using a WRT54GL with dd-wrt for years, but I knew my router would cause me to lose most of the speed I would gain when I went to fiber. I bought the WRT3200ACM because the specs looked good. Although I have not switched from cable to fiber yet, the performance on my LAN is blazing compared to my trusty WRT54GL. I move a good bit of data over my LAN with backups and sharing large documents. Jobs that used to take 10 minutes are completing in less than 1 minute. I love the 2 bands as well. I am very pleased with all aspects of this new router. I will say if you are cramped for space, the WRT3200ACM has a larger footprint. I have also noticed a significant improvement in Wi-Fi. Since I do not use Wi-Fi much, that was not a deciding factor for me.

Super-fast, small and efficient. What else would anyone want in a switch. Eliminates the bottleneck of a router for fast LAN interactivity and backups. Plug-and-play and the price is right. B&H is great to deal with. Received quickly in perfect condition.

For under $60, this EdgeRouter X is easily the best bang for your buck when it comes to routers.  Theres more functions that youll probably ever need to use and configure. I created a VLAN for my guest users to isolate my LAN devices -- my guests are on 192.168.2.1/24 whereas myself and LAN devices are on 192.168.1.1/24.  This router is not plug-n-play per se, although it is defaulted as a switch, you will still need to tinker around the web interface (or SSH) to get the most use of the router. Highly recommended to the novice/advanced users with networking knowledge, might be a bit too technical for the beginners.

Only need 10gbps to connect my Synology to computer for fast LAN transfers. I use this downstream from my router and everything works as expected. Great unmanaged switch for 10gbps.
