Choosing your personal server device
Back to Getting started with your Superglue personal server
Supported devices
Currently two devices are supported: the D-Link DIR-505 (left) and the TP-LINK TL-WR710N (right). It doesn't matter which model you get: both offer the same functionality and are priced around €25 / $30.
Do pay close attention to the specific model numbers though, as both D-Link and TP-LINK offer many other devices with similar names (like WR 720N instead of WR 710N) which might not be compatible with the Superglue firmware.
ATTENTION: Recently (summer 2015) new TP-LINK W710N V2 (version 2) devices started to appear on the market - those only have 4Mb of flash memory and are not compatible with Superglue firmware.
DO NOT BUY.
Where to buy
Both devices are easy to come by through online shops like Ebay and Amazon or (preferably!) at your local computer shop. Again, please pay attention to the model number to make sure you get the right version.
