Re: Any recommendation for wireless router

I was using the TP-Link mentioned as my primary router for quite a while 
and I realised they have a penchant to hang on me. Worse, I don't even 
do much torrent. I gave up and eventually bought a old 2nd hand 
Fortigate and turned the TP-Link as my Wireless AP instead.

My 2C for you guys to ponder. Cheers.
