    Routers... Need help


    Ok guys,

    So a few days ago, my router bricked itself. I don't know how, but I'll explain the problem.


    The WiFi Broadcasts a 169 Address, and kicks off EVERY wireless device. Trying to reconnect fails, it also rejects the pass key. The hardwired connections are fine, but it's only a matter of time before they go too. I'm rocking a WRT54G Wireless router (Old, I know).

    So, I need a GOOD dual band router. I was looking at this one;

    TRENDnet AC1750 Dual Band Wireless Router TEW-812DRU - Newegg.com

    Any suggestions?

    Did you try flashing the firmware?

    Yeah. That made it even worse. It's time to upgrade anyways, so it works, just wish it was next month.

    How well does it respond to having multiple wireless devices, and also, Guest Network + Regular secured network? That's what I'm looking for right now. My family likes to give our WEP Key out, and they posted it on our wall. Rather not have to do that again or ever.

    Forgot to ask: how's the range?
