I have these two routers I set my eyes on.
TP-LINK Archer c7

and Dlink AC1750

They're currently both the same price right now and I don't know which one to pick. I need this router to cover around 2 full sized floors and maintain a decent speed, so no spikes. I'm also looking into the software, which router has a better GUI for configurations and what not. I'm leaning toward the Dlink.

Any thoughts?

Cannot see the .ca sites... However, I have the DIR-868L D-Link and it is fairly good, I have 8 or so devices on ethernet connected at all times as well as a dozen or so WiFi devices in the house. The WAN is Comcast 135/20 Cable Internet. I have the 5.x GHz AC as one SSID and the 2.4 G/N as a separate SSID. Due to the structure of my home, I have 2 additional Access Points to provide true coverage of the house. (my house is Aluminium framed, acts like a Faraday cage)

If you have a multi floor home, if you can, position the Router as centrally as possible, to get the best disbursement of the signal. Also remember that all wiring and plumbing disrupts the signal as well as someone walking through the room...
