Just bought a super expensive router. Not sure if that was a smart thing to do. All I do is work from home, run a Bitcoin node, play Overwatch 2 and online poker. Buyer's remorse?

A nerd / developer buys a finished product?
DD-WRT router firmware demo:
These things turn any WRT capable router into a work of art... I remember running it years ago on a old linksys prior to the Cisco takeover. Was doing my CCNA at the time and it totally blew me away.
Ah... maybe.. maybe not! What router are you rocking currently? I went from a ASUS ROG based router to a Ubiqiti Dream Machine and have not looked back when it comes to recommending this thing. The price of the Dream Machine was cheaper too. The upgrade though from previous router to the ASUS was really noticeable! No crap, my Gigabit connection was pulling 600megabit/s until the upgrade... which pushed it to the full 1 gigabit 🤙
I'm currently using a D-Link AC3200 Tri-Band (DIR-890L). It kinda looks like a alien spaceship as well. I love the color of this router. It matches my Bitcoin node. However, it's nearly 10 years old now and it's connectivity isn't reliable anymore. I did get some good mileage with it though. It was worth the buy, but the Asus ROG had me drooling when looking for a new router. I was weak, and pushed the 'Buy Now' button.
