Recently I was talking with a friend of mine about the network problems I was having at home, he mentioned that due to the number of devices actively connected to my network (18 in total) it is overwhelming my router (which is meant for gaming, and also apparently NOT meant to deal with a lot of devices, according to their support team)
I was thinking of possibly taking my old computer and converting it into a router, problem is that I don't know what OS to put on it nor even *how* to do this process. The other other was to purchase a business level router (something like TL-R605, which was recommended to me)
But I want to know what others think is the better option, naturally my old gaming computer would have potentially better hardware (due to it having a better CPU and even ram). I don't want to junk the old system since I do feel it can be used for *something* so does anyone have any advice? :<
To give an idea of what the old system has, here are its rough specs:
CPU: i9-14900KF
Ram: 62 Gbs
GPU: 2080 (Probably not needed)
