I recently retired my old Cisco 891-w which had served me well for years. I now have a 300mb connection and the cisco did not have gigabit ethernet ports which was a problem. I know that the 891-w was an enterprise class router and I will likely not find anything like that stability in my price range of 100-200, but stability is my number one priority. Time Warner gave me an Arris Dg160a which has been nothing but trouble with constant dropped connections.
My environment is all wired or N clients so AC while nice is not a priority and not worth a large jump in cost. Maximum throughput is also not a huge concern as long as it can max out my 300mb connection which appears to not be a problem at all with most devices. There is very little LAN to LAN traffic. I do however download 100-200 gigs worth of data a day several times a week.
My goal is to find a device that i will be able to use for a few years that will rarely if ever need to be reset and wont drop connections even while downloading at 300mps.
I have looked at many of the reviews on this site but they seem to focus a lot on maximum throughput and range neither of which are real concerns for me due to my environment. Any suggestions are appreciated.
