As the title implies I am going to buy a router. I have searched around and settled down on this one for the most part. I am on a tight budget so the cheaper the better and this one seems to offer everything I need in a router. It's got more than fast enough WiFi for supporting the few wireless devices in my home of which are 4 phones and a FireTV Stick with my internet speeds being 155/170 it should be able to support more than fast enough speeds over WiFi for these devices to do stuff. And it has gigabit ethernet which will also support those speeds over cable to my PC and gaming consoles.
I've also used TP-Link before and currently have an 8-port ethernet switch by them that is working wonders and does it's job without issues so I kind of trust them on the quality side of things.
What I want to know is if anyone here has used a TP-Link router like this one or this one specifically or has any knowledge of this one being a not so good device? The reason I am getting a new router is because the one provided to me by my ISP is a complete tard when it comes to port forwarding and nothing I've done has been able to make it work right. DMZ works but I don't want to do that for security reasons so I figured I would just get my own router that won't give me such a hard time and would also save me from paying a monthly $5 leasing fee for their router at the same time.
So any insight and information regarding this router and it's quality would be much appreciated.
P.S.- the AC1200 version was listed on LifeWire for being one of the best routers under $50 and and while viewing it on amazon I clicked on the AC900 version to see what it's price it is currently $15 cheaper so if this router is good enough then I'll go with it since it'll only cost me $35.
Here is the router in question:
