I'm wanting to stop renting from my ISP and switch out my router/modem combo.
For a router, here is my situation: small 1 BR apartment. 850 sq ft. Have a single PC connected via wire for games and large downloads. Via wifi I have 2 phones, 2 laptops, and my TV which I stream with Plex from my wired desktop. Live in an apartment building so 2.4 and 5ghz bands are saturated. I'd like the flexibility to pick some of those empty channels like 100 - 120.
I work from home via wifi on my work laptop so stability is absolutely critical. My current old school modem-router never drops out wifi. I read constantly about Netgear's Nighthawk and TP Link having $200 routers that constantly drop wifi and have issues. But when I look at top-rated routers, these always come up. The 1-star reviews on Amazon scare the hell out of me.
Is Asus a better solution? What should I go for?
