Hi Everyone,
I need some help choosing a new wireless router. I have two desktops that will be used for online gaming simultaneously, so I need a router that can handle this. Both desktops are using Asus USB-AC68 Dual-Band AC1900 USB 3.0 Wi-Fi Adapters.
Which router would you guys recommend for use with the AC68 USB adapters? I have been looking at the below routers, but it does not have to be an Asus router. These are just the easiest to get hold of in my country. I've included the US$ equivalent prices for my country as well. Due to import duties and taxes, things are very expensive here.
Asus RT-AC88U AC3100 Dual-Band Wi-Fi Gigabit Router - $323
Asus RT-AC68U AC1900 Dual-Band Wi-Fi Gigabit Router - $223
Asus RT-AC3200 Tri-Band Gigabit Wi-Fi Router - $262
Asus RT-AC87U Dual-Band AC2400 Wi-Fi Gigabit Router - $254
From what I have read, the RT-AC88U AC3100 router uses NitroQAM technology to achieve its max bandwith speed, which the AC68 adapters don't support, but I might be wrong.
Routers that are just to expensive in my country are:
Asus RT-AC5300 - $412
Netgear Nighthawk X4S D7800 - $447 and rarely available
D-Link AC3200 Ultra Wi-Fi Router - $500 and rarely available
Netgear Nighthawk X8 AC5300 - $539 and rarely available
Linksys routers are impossible to find.
Any recommendations and advise would be greatly appreciated!! Thanks a mil!!
