R7960P vs. RS280S range
I am looking to update my old router - R7960P in hopes of finally resolving the DNS problem introduced by the last security update (DNS time outs that were only fixable by setting DNS per each device...
Thanks, my place is 2700 SQft, so I will give the RS280s a try. Do you think I could use the R7960P as an extender? As documented in my threads from a couple years ago, the enabling IPV6 solution did not work for me. Although it resolved the DNS issue, it caused the Router to crash every 48 hours or so. That was way worse than the hassle to set DNS on individual devices.
I found an old stat sheet for the R7960P. It was rated at 3500 SQFT. ☹️
