Aww what a beautiful kitty, would most definitely kick peppers ass though when she went to start a fight 😂 she’s tiny but she won’t accept that fact

JackbyDev ,

Olive is fairly petite. She has a six inch tail! :3

I have that router. It’s a great router. Never drops out, never needs to be reset. It just works, and works well.

My only complaint is that it has a tendency to refuse to switch back to a DFS channel once the airwaves are clear, but I mostly use ethernet anyway so it’s not the end of the world. I’m just happy to finally own a router that does what it’s supposed to without needing a power cycle every few weeks.

Edit: Model is Toilet Paper-Link Archer AX11000

yokonzo OP ,

It is fantastic, still i have it set to power cycle every few days regardless to be safe, but I’ve never had all the issues I have with past routers

femtech ,

Do you live near a base or airport? I had to disable DFS channels as it was multiple times a day that it would drop and switch.

Psythik ,

Nowhere near either.

NGL, i was a little disappointed when i scrolled down and she wasn’t sitting on this. Yours is probably more comfy!

Looks exactly like several video game mini bosses standing on their evil spawn points.

I see dust despite duster presence

yokonzo OP ,

Lmao called out, though I think that’s actually silvervine dust i sprinkled on the table next to it for her a few days ago

Serious question. What does a $200 router do that my shitty Xfinity One doesn’t?

Blisterexe ,

Better range, better speeds, better control panel, and some extra features that can be great for gaming or self-hosting servers (eg: network-wide adblocker, nat loopback)

henfredemars ,

Just be careful with IPv6 if you enjoy that. A lot of consumer owned routers have trouble getting configured properly for that.

Blisterexe ,

Enjoy what specifically?

henfredemars ,

I have exhaustively evaluated consumer routers for supporting the IPv6 standard, and it’s quite spotty with the best of them requiring an ideal lucky match between the way your ISP issues addresses and the way your router does. The only consistent way for the home user I found to get support for that standard on their home network is to use the provided device. It’s a shame.

In summary, if you want the new type of Internet addresses, it’s a pain if you want to own your own router.

jake_jake_jake_ ,

either the provider router/dhcpv6 and delegation or the cpe (your router) is misconfigured. ipv6 support on consumer equipment really is pretty straightforward

A lot of the ISP provided routers don’t even let you change the DNS.

yokonzo OP ,

Mostly directional range, but mine also offers a huge suite of features so I can have total control over my network, as well as wifi 6 which is nice and a bunch of high speed ports

tentacles9999 ,

Lot of comments but the real answer is that generally router firmware is pretty shitty and price does not equal performance. If you want something good for cheap get a 50-100 dollar (can find even cheaper especially if you don’t have crazy internet speeds) computer (like a raspberry pie clone) stick on open wrt, and get a separate Wi-Fi access point. Will blow past any consumer grade premium router because a lot of them are sold the be “all in one” with the cheapest, low power hardware imaginable and while not universal, software that never updated. Also, Something like openwrt has something called cake sqm which can massively reduce latency as well as constant software updates that fix vulnerabilities.

An ISP provided router is generally going to be the cheapest device they can buy that will be functional on their service.

This means that if you are using more than a handful of devices it can overwhelm the processing power of the router leading to lag, drop outs, loss of connection, sites taking ages to load, etc.

When you buy your own router you get to choose a device that fits your (and your families) needs.

If you shop at an actual tech shop instead of your local big box store, you will find a huge number of different devices available that are far more capable than either the ISP’s or big boxes stores offerings.

There are even entry level professional units that can support about a hundred devices connected to it without breaking a sweat.

When I switched from ADSL to fiber years ago I purchased a D-Link DIR-879 router which at the time was good enough for my needs but had some drop out issues so I have recently upgraded to a MikroTik RB960PGS Router which is both a wired only router (no inbuilt WiFi) and much more powerful both in performance and features.

I can use a Wifi access point or two to get WiFi where I need it and it can be upgraded as new WiFi standards come out without replacing the router.

Is that the one where like 4 of 6 antennas are fake?

yokonzo OP ,

Well I sure hope not, they all seem to weigh the same and use gold connectors but I guess you never know

Makes a nice kitty throne for plotting world domination.
