I'grand looking for a specific type of router, possibly you guys can give me some hints. I've been using a Archer C7 v2 in Client Mode for a "long distance" WiFi connection. Recently, the 2.4 GHz band got so overcrowded that transfer rates over the WiFi link got worse and worse, especially during the day. The transfer rate used to be ~ii,5 MB/due south, at present I but get well-nigh 10-50 Kb/south. I'grand thinking that I can get better rates with directional antennas, simply the Archer's ii.four GHz antennas are built-in, and I don't want to cleft open the router in social club to attach antennas to the internal connectors. So, my question is: what is the "best" router (in terms of performance, memory, quality, DD-WRT stability/characteristic set, etc.) with detachable 2.4 GHz antennas? Ideally, I'm looking for something in the class of the Archer C7, merely with detachable two.iv GHz antennas (ii antennas would be sufficient, but I estimate that combination of modern hardware with only two antennas doesn't exist). The TP-Link TL-WR841ND looks interesting, but I'm not sure how well DD-WRT works on that device. Final edited by SaschaITM on Tue November xv, 2016 eighteen:01; edited 1 time in full

I've read that certain routers are capable of using a full 30 tx power every bit that'southward the highest gives most distance, likewise read atheros are better to handle 30tx power without increased interference. No clue what routers to 30 still.. in terms of TL-WR841ND it might not be a good thought, find the forum thread for it, people don't really postal service at that place it'southward 3 pages long, people accept bug with NAS usb and there'south one reported bug about lan and wireless not been able to see each other on shared network there's a fix i'm using latest update for information technology, only even to me it seems there could be improve in terms of support features ect information technology works for what i need it to do, it's cheap so you could try is in that location a lack of routers that have detachable antennas? i'chiliad looking into others and so i hope that isn't the case.

The WR841N would exist interesting because it needs only two external antennas. The WR1043ND seems to be much more like the Archer C7, but it needs three antennas. Not quite sure which manner to go yet. VictorRamos: it'due south not really that much distance, nearly 500 Meters. The trouble is the crowded ii.4 GHz band, I have 30-40 WiFi networks around me at any given fourth dimension. Almost every available channel is being used, so interference is probably very high.
