Hey all,
New to the site, but have been trying to soak up what I can, at the expense of what few brain cells I have left, I'm sure. Hoping for some guidance on a new router purchase.
I'm looking to upgrade from my wired TLink 100mbps router to a wireless. I'm with TimeWarner/Spectrum 100mbps down, (10 up) plan, but am going to upgrade to their 200, or 300mbps plan, when I get a new router. The house is wired with Cat6. The source Cable is dropped in the family room, which is in one end of the house. My son has a basic Linksys wireless router in his room, (which is in the center of the house) that supplies wireless (which the kids use for Netflix, XBox, phones, etc...) from my TLink router.
Anyway, I'm more interested in running wired to my computer, through the new router, leaving the wireless coverage, to be decided. Possibly from the new router, depending on coverage, or maybe still from my son's room.
I've been looking at (at the suggestion of my grumpy tech-guy friend) Asus RT-AC1900(P), RT-AC68U, and possibly the RT-AC3100. But I am open to suggestions.
Lastly, do I need to worry about UDP throughput? RT-AC1900 showed low review scores in that area.
Thank you for any help provided.
