New router for fiber

[slim shady]

hi guys im upgrading to fiber @100 down

i need a new router for my home, coverage area is 1200 sqft.

Requirements:

vpn on router (i have mullvad)
should be able to stream hd content smoothly from hdd connected to the router.
multiple devices should work seemlessly.
ddwrt support.
if possible would like to download stuff directly torrent to hdd connected to router.

now i need stable release routers for both ddwrt and stock firmware or something with least amount of bugs.

budget is 200 dollars.

no of devices would be 8 -10

right now looking over r7800 and linksys wrt1900

I would buy a EdgeRouter X and a good AP if i where you.

im from india, so i got netgear linksys dlink asus tplink

Oki well the i would go for the R7800 sence you can have alternative FW on that one.

 

[umarmung]

Netgear R7800 without question.

so not wrt1900, i ask cause some say its better and same price and how is the rbk50 ?

 

[Easy Rhino]

the r7800 has by far the fastest CPU so that will help if your VPN is using Open SSL encryption.

I believe the stock firmware supports a download offloader as well.

sry for late query but it turns out the isp has rj11 the phone line connector for providing net conncetion so what dsl modem should i use to connect with the r7800 and and how do i configure it in bridge mode. a step by step or guide woukd be very helpful as i have no idea how to do that.

 

[umarmung]

Check for supported models with your ISP (ask for devices with bridge mode too). Manufacturers with good reputations for DSL modems on here are Draytek, Zyxel and Sagemcom.

You can check for bridge mode by downloading and checking the manual.

Why not go for a fiber enable router like the newly upcoming Turris MOX? With 1-2 additional MOX Access Point you can easily cover your home.
