Do you have any recommendations on which router I should go for what is supported merlin? I have been looking at a few and they are starting to all blend in together. Like how good is the AC88U. Or if not asus or merlin what other routers would u recommend?

Thanks. Agree with you on WPS as well, I have always told people never to use it yet they still do. Always disable it.

Thanks for the suggestion. I have already looked into pfsense and it looks good but I am just looking for something not as troublesome. +Most of their hardware is out of my price range. I know you can set up old devices etc with pfsense software but then I will need to get NICs (+I am using them...

Hello, I am looking to replace my ISP router (BT smart hub 2) due to its lack of UI, slow connections, and poor range. I have around £150 and am looking for a dual-band router, good range, high speeds, e.g., gigabit. I do a lot of file transfers internally. I also have a fair amount of 2.4ghz...

Thanks, as for MSI DC I just don't bother with it, I download the needed drivers and leave their tools alone, same for other manufactures. Yeah I agree that the gaming edge was terrible only went for it as I got it for like £50ish off a friend who never used it.

The gaming edge wifi (is known to be hot) broke while I was using my pc, the screen went full black and the debug leds said my CPU is not there or failed. I swapped components about with my 2nd pc to see if the mobo broke or my cpu and it was the mobo. I am assuming that the chipset/or vrms...

I have been torn on what mobo to go with for the past hour, I have seen the b550-f, b550 tomahawk, Motar, tuf b550m-plus and even some x570 have come up in the same price range. If you have any recommendations it will be greatly apricated (prefer full atx). Currently have: 3700x & x570 gaming...

Thanks for the heads up. It has gotten to a point where I don't download any software from the manufactures as it gets to a point where they mess up your computer, I had the same problem with Dragon Center and the only way to fix it was a clean install of windows.

Thanks will look into it!! Yeah the USB-C is no problem for me so that doesn't really matter.

Thanks for the info! Do you know any other mobos at this price point or lower what are worth the money? and can handle future upgrades to 5000 series etc. If not I am thinking of going for the -F variant then.

Ahh yes, sorry forgot to say. I am currently running a 3700x with a MSI MPG Gaming Edge X570 wifi, I wouldn't of gone for it but I got it for a very cheap price off a friend, it is known to run hot and not be the best. I am looking to upgrade in the future to a 5000 series chip probably since...

Hello, recently my motherboard decided to die on me while in use and I am in need of a new motherboard, I believe it has something to do with the chipset or vrms as my motherboard has an history with overheating. I can spend up to £250 (GBP), I was looking at the Asus Rog Strix B550-f & e but...

Honestly I don't think it is, if I wanted to be rude I would say that this forum is and barley nobody replies etc, but it isn't and I know this forum used to be decent and sometimes is - I have already got a reply on another forum within an hour of posting. This forum is slowly dying; on my old...

Hello, I am looking to buy a pair of new Headphones, but if you just want the quick details look at the Bold Points. I am looking for a new pair of Gaming Headphones, that include a detachable microphone for about £100. These headphones will be used for gaming like CSGO (Valorant) along with...

Also saying that the laptops link above might not be even good as I haven't fully checked them out.
