Question for you Computer Guys??? Routers

[Adicted]

I have Cox with the 100Mbps package and want the best router for the price. it will be a dual band. I run several cpus, and streaming movies on it. What experiences do you have with the ones u use so i can get the most Mbps out of it

Check on their website. They have a list of routers they support. I replaced an old Motorola Surfboard Modem a couple of years ago when I got a new laptop and went with one from ZOOM.

I'm not quite sure but I always got recommended to linksys router. It depends on the range you want to cover. For example, you need a "bigger" router range if you want the coverage to cover the whole house (5 bedrooms plus).. otherwise if its only a few rooms then something smaller will do. My apologies for the "childish" info but I can't quite remember the exact wording.

i have a 2 story house so it needs to be a big one....i have a new mondem now from cox but now i need a new router as its cutting my speed in a third.

if you have tmobile they give away a 200$ router for free. It's an ASUS dual band AC1900 .Its the RT-68U.

 

Signal is great in my house on 2.4 and 5ghz bands. Goes backyard, upstairs with very strong signal using a signal meter. Performance and additional applications and USB drives is great.

I use one of those gaming routers because my older son uses the PS4 online, and everyone else is doing something on the wifi like watching movies or using the tablets / phones..

I have 2 Asus RT N65R - one for my office and one for the house. I've been happy with them.

If you want to take full advantage of your 100Mbps data package, prepare to spend a little more for a higher end router. You will need to disable encryption and use a 5ghz wireless N setting, don't use mixed. You want a Dual N band router at minimum to reliably get 90-150 Mbps (depending on distance from router). If you are sticking to a budget and don't need blazing fast speed. The TP-Link Archer C7 AC1750 is hard to beat. It is probably the cheapest router that supports the 802.11az wireless, but you will probably at best get around 50-60Mbps. Which should be fine for what you said you use it for.

802.11AC can push way beyond that. AC is currently the fastest with AD releasing soon. AC is up to 1200 non aggregated, but most devices, cell phones tablets only use one single channel single antenna so they are limited to about 433mbps, laptops and other devices can take advantage of even higher speeds.
I use to run a draft N device from a long time ago, never noticed any issues with streaming and lots of comptuers, but I don't think I was stressing my WiFi really since everything that was cabled to gigabit ethernet to the jacks. Wireless 802.11ac brings lots of improvements including beam forming technology and other speed and range enhancements.

 

Check out target, they were clearning out a lot of the really nice Nighthawks and high end routers for a good price!

 

Also, if you are in a VERY large house you may think about putting a couple of $10 wireless N 150mbps access points around your house. Name them the same and use the same PW, turn off DHCP and plug into the LAN jack.

On another note, not sure what you are doing that you need a HOST to hit 100mbps. That's an awful lot of constant bandwidth for a single residental computer. As long as you can sustain 100mbps across all links, you should be good
