Hi,
I need your help.
We have 3x desktops , 3x notebooks, 4x ipads, 5x iphones, 5x smart TVs, etc in our house. I have configured each to have a manual IP. We often use netflix (max of 2 users watching at a time), youtube, facebook.
Now, I am in need of a wireless router that can do the following:
1) Router where I can turn off internet access on a certain IP address
2) Router where I can limit the Download speed on a certain IP address
3) Optional but good to have - where I can restrict a certain IP address from accessing facebook or youtube
4) Best router that I could get for $300. If router A cost $100 and router B cost $300 and both can do the same thing, then I would still get router B ($300). (I always want to get the best there is. Let's please not argue this point and leave it as it is. Thanks).
5) I can't get 2 devices (Router+Access Point). I need it to be 1 only due to space constraint. In short, I don't want to set up a whole computer as my router (PFsense)
6) The router should be simple enough to use such that wife (who has minimal computer knowledge) can still operate the turning on/off of the internet on a certain computer with ease.
7) As much as possible, minimal upgrading or maintenance needed.
Note: I am amenable to change a router's firmware if needed (Merlin, etc)
Note2: We have a special child (autistic) who opens 10+ youtube tabs which hogs the bandwidth thus the need for me to limit the download speed on his computer/ipad/TV,etc. At times, we need to turn his internet totally off because there are times wherein he intentionally wakes up at 1am (while we are sleeping) so that he could watch youtube + internet. If we do not remove the internet then he will be watching youtube on his smart tv all night long and won't sleep. (as of now, we manually unplug the LAN cable of his smart tv on the router end (we don't use the wireless of the smart tv))
I am currently looking at the Asus RT-AC3200 but I don't know if it can do the things I've mentioned.
Thanks for the help.
