I'm currently using an Asus RT-n56u. Its a good router and all, but it doesn't keep up with the conditions of my house. The router is located in a middle of the 2nd story of my house. I bought this router mainly to have some signal strength in a room that is on the first story in the opposite corner for web browsing. However this room is now a Home theater with a NUC that is streaming from Netflix and a NAS located near a router, and will also be streaming Steam games from a computer that is also located near the router. The RT-N56U cannot keep up, especially with Steam home streaming. Will the R7000 be a good replacement? I know that in the initial tests, the netgear blew the Asus router out the water, but in a second test, the Asus caught up with the Netgear router. Is there potential for the Asus RT-AC68 to surpass the Netgear R7000 considerably? I can spend upto $250 for the router.
Edit: I will also buy the appropriate Intel AC mini PCI card for the NUC. I believe it's the 7260?
