iAmMoDBoX Posted June 13, 2015 Posted June 13, 2015 Anyone have any input on the best AC router with the best range? I had the comcast DPC3941T and the wifi on it was amazing but the modem sucked. I'm spoiled now so I want to upgrade to an AC router. That one had 6 internal antennas so I'm assuming something comparable to it would suffice.
PharmDawgg Posted June 13, 2015 Posted June 13, 2015 Are you asking for strictly router and nothing else?

PharmDawgg Posted June 13, 2015 Posted June 13, 2015 I'm an Asus fan boy so anything within your price range is pretty good in my opinion.
iAmMoDBoX Posted June 13, 2015 Author Posted June 13, 2015 I'm an Asus fan boy so anything within your price range is pretty good in my opinion. I have an Asus RT-N56U right now and the wifi is just okay. Once you leave the room it's in the 5ghz performance sucks. I was looking at the RT-AC68U or the TP Link Archer C7
PharmDawgg Posted June 13, 2015 Posted June 13, 2015 RT-AC68U ($$) > RT-AC87U ($$$) > RT-AC3200($$$$) If you are just going to use it as a access point I would go with the lower priced option.
abc123 Posted June 13, 2015 Posted June 13, 2015 I agree with Buck Nasssty, the Asus router is the clear winner right now. The nighthawk from netgear is nice The WRT-1900AC is awesome if they would release a wifi driver that didn't crash on Wireless AC....
iAmMoDBoX Posted June 13, 2015 Author Posted June 13, 2015 The comcast modem I had was a cisco so I'm curious to know if they have a similar router to that one just not built in. The router part of it was awesome, but the modem was terrible.

iAmMoDBoX Posted June 14, 2015 Author Posted June 14, 2015 Asus RT-AC87U with AsusWRT-Merlin firmware rock stable excellent wifi options galore hardware NAT acceleration http://asuswrt.lostrealm.ca/about That's the thing, I have the RT-N56U as my main router now so I'm looking for something to use more as an access point and I don't need all the extra features a $250+ router has compared to a good, fast, basic AC router
