I bought a router from Target and connected it to my primary router via powerline networking. It works most of the time, but will lose connection a couple of times per night or sometimes more than that. I do have many nights where I do not lose my connection, but I am ready for a new router.

I have read a ton of articles, router ranking reports, websites and message boards and most come up with 1 of 2 routers to get.
1. NIghthawk AC 3200
2. ASUS RT-AC68U

My wireless router is one from the DSL company but it has limited range.

I previously had a linksys running DDWRT and it did extremely well. Eventually it burned out, so I got rid of it.

I am looking for a router that I can connect via powerline networking (or whatever is recommended).

I like the price of the linksys ddwrt as it was only about $30 or so. \

Should I go for a cheaper router running DDWRT or tomato or go with one of the routers I mentioned earlier?

We have 2 ipads, Wii U, XBox 360 and a couple of laptops that all connect wirelessly.

I hope I provided enough information and details. I am willing to make any changes or suggestion that come up, but was hoping the experts here could make some suggestions.

Thank you
