Hey Guys,
As the title says, I need a router or an access point for our home. My budget is around $200 ish. Here is what I'm currently running-
Buffalo 1750DHP
Our house is 3 stories (including basement), and each floor is about 1200 sq ft. The WiFi router is currently almost in the middle of the house on the main floor. The coverage from the Buffalo is okay at the best, and we seem to be having lot of random disconnects lately. Also the more I play with the firmware, the more I'm starting to hate it. We have about 15 devices in our household that support AC, and I'm struggling to get decent reception at upper and lower corners of our house.
Also have a firmware that allows me to do a great job monitoring and fine tuning would be nice as well.
So in order of preference here is what I want from a router:
- 5GHz Range
- Speed
- Customization options
After reading and reading (and most likely confusing myself), I have shortlisted the following router:
Asus RT-AC3200 ($161 @ Jet.com after 15% coupon SHOP15)
Is there anything else that you guys would like to recommend that I should consider around the $200 price tag?
Or am I better of just getting ubiquiti AC access points like the UAP-AC-LR, and running those around the house?
Thanks
