Would love some opinions on a mid-range router to fit my usage!
Formerly used a Netgear R6400, but upon restarting it yesterday, it did not power back up. This happened to me once before, when it was 2 months out of warranty, but randomly started working again after sitting off for a few days. I'm fed up with it, though.
Was using a DLink DIR-813(?) as a wifi repeater, but had to put it in as the main router due to the R6400 dying.
My netork:
Wired:
2 gaming PCs (we are enthusiastic gamers in this house)
1 home server (runs Plex, etc)
Wireless:
2 Rokus (a Roku3, and a Streaming Stick)
1 work laptop using VPN
2 Android phones (wireless N)
2 Android tablets (wireless N)
1 ipad 4th gen
2 ipad Mini 1st gens
1 iphone 6
1 HP OfficeJet 4680J
The router sits in the basement, near the ceiling in an unfinished portion. It is a cool, dry environment, with protected and clean power.
My budget is under $200....would like to keep it around $110-130
I don't really care much about USB, to be honest.
Would really like parental controls including time restrictions.
Would really like bandwidth usage by guest.
Thanks!
edit: had model of my Netgear wrong, it is R6400, not N6400
