Succinct. Is it the consensus that they might be ok for one or two nearby cams but you should upgrade the router exceeding that? Or is it pony up for a better one and save yourself the trouble: everything you currently have will perform at least as well and there’ll be room to grow as you get more devices? Are some people still renting ISP routers?

Wyze Glossary

Yes they are, that’s why ISPs are still offering them.

My old Motorola cable modem/router kept dropping the signals after 6 years so I installed a NETGEAR CAX30 a few months ago. It was a pain in the a$$ to set up but I finally got it set, named the network and SSID (S) the same as the old one and all is well. I have Xfinity and have never used any of their provided equipment because I don’t want to pay them another $14 or $15 dollars a month and I want to be in control of all the settings.

I use DDWRT on my wireless routers. Full control and stable. Plus, no monthly fees.

Capsule OTTOMH def? I think it’s open source and free. Does it have beginner and advanced UI overlays? Easy to install? Router specific and available for most common ISP routers?

Wyze Glossary

Yes, as long as you can put it in bridge mode.

$15 mo ?? At that rate you’d think they’d give you something really good tailored to their service: make customer happy and continue to glom all that granular usage data otherwise lost when unhappy customer buys a third party brand.

I say that about granular usage data because Wyze mentioned that their router offerings helped them improve connectivity metrics overall.

So does ISP router belong in the don’t doozes or no? If Antonius used one with multiple cams for six years without pulling his hair out maybe not?
