Thanks for the advice in this thread, I'm kicking around buying a new router and setting things up like has been suggested for better wireless performance. Current performance with my 5 year old Shaw modem for phones, tablets, gaming and Netflix have been frustrating.
A couple of years ago I bought the
Asus RT-N16 bridged my modem, flashed DD-WRT and pointed to a HMA server in the US for Netflix. Anyway, it fell from use and has been collecting dust for the last year. I just logged into it so I do have full access to it. A couple of questions:
1) If I restore factory defaults will that reset back to Asus firmware or DD-WRT? I'm guessing it'll stay DD-WRT, is there a way to get back to factory firmware? I'd like to sell it but they aren't going for much so the amount of effort would have to be low. Unless selling it as DD-WRT would make it more attractive...
2) A reset (or something anyway) of my modem at one point un-bridged it. It was nice at the time as I had one US connection and one local, what are the downsides to operating like this, not bridging your modem and just adding a router?
