<br class="gmail_msg">
I've got my parents on a TL-WR1043ND running openwrt. This router has<br class="gmail_msg">
been absolutely solid for about 6 years now. Unfortunately they've now<br class="gmail_msg">
"upgraded" to the NBN, and the poor thing just doesn't seem to be able<br class="gmail_msg">
to keep up. The wireless has also always been a bit slow.<br class="gmail_msg">
<br class="gmail_msg">
So, looking for recommendations on new hardware with better wireless and<br class="gmail_msg">
some more balls. The thing is connected to a 16 port switch, so number<br class="gmail_msg">
of ports isn't important, it just needs to be able to handle the packet<br class="gmail_msg">
load.<br class="gmail_msg">
<br class="gmail_msg">
Is anyone running something that is still locally available and they'd<br class="gmail_msg">
recommend for openwrt?<br class="gmail_msg">
