I have been running an R7000 for about 2 years now and it has overall ran very nicely. It has needed to be rebooted probably less than 5 times in total and gives a good throughput and range across all 4 levels of my home to approximately 15 devices (mostly 5GHZ N and AC devices). I am quite happy with it but being a bit of a tech geek, the question of "is there something truly that much better I can upgrade to?" arises. I experimented with the Asus RT-AC3200, TP-Link Archer C2600 MU-MIMO, TP-Link AC-3200 tri-band, and the Netgear R7500 (when it first came out) and all of them provided good but not great numbers. I always went back to my trusty R7000. I have not tried any of the new Linksys or D-Link routers and would like to know whether or not there is anything better in terms of range and throughput that is currently on the market.
