^it seems netgear is a popular brand in the US, my cousin whos in the US send those stuff back home here with his sibling

His brother on the hand is fussy about brands and prefer linksys

When he required to connect 2nd house separated 50 meters away to their existing network he consulted me. Checked both linksys & netgear routers if both will get the job done. Unfortunately both failed to meet the requirements of WDS and detachable antenna so we could mount the antenna outside the house in order to cover the 50 meters stretch

We bought tplink routers to get the job done and it worked fine. We just add another router on the roofdeck to boost wifi signal so they could sing their hearts out via youtube karaoke videos
