Maybe this is too nerdy for this group. I got an OpenWRT ONE router, replaced the old TP-Link one I had. The bad press got to me. The new one is fast, I could not believe how much faster things like downloading files is now.
The worst part was that I had picked out a complicated password with lots of punctuation, and typing that on phones and on-screen keyboards for TVs and game consoles was painful.
Also I pinged Google, and got an IPv6 response for the first time.
Curious that your download speed increased.
I recently upgraded my old ISP provided router to a tp-link omada router with a couple in wall access points that also serve as switches to have everything that can be hard wired, hard wired. As well as having good Wi-Fi through the house.
It’s the little things in life but a nice, fast and robust home network is super satisfying
I was surprised by the speed increase as well. I assumed that broadband would be the bottleneck, but apparently not.
