Best Bang for Buck Router

Post by tk007b »

Hi there,

I have a ASUS running Gargoyle but am looking for a router that offers better performance without too much expense. From reading up, the Archer C7 looks like a good unit but it needs to be better than the AC750 without breaking the back.

Any suggestions ??
Reliability/stability
Range
2.4 and 5ghz
Cost effective
and mustn't be obsolete

Cheers

TK :D

I've had good luck with Linksys WRT1200AC and WRT1900ACS routers on eBay being $40 or under. Reliable and fast processor.
QoS Tip: Don't complicate your QoS settings. Gargoyle evenly splits available bandwidth between active devices as needed. Just delete all your classification rules and leave only one normal service class and you're done. No more arguing over bandwidth.
