Re: Need router suggestions for under £100
The WNDR3700 is one of the best and most stable routers out there, with proper firmware on it and is exceedingly fast. The DIR-825 comes with broken/missing 5Ghz LNAs so the 5Ghz performance is terrible.

However if your old router has problems throwing files around the LAN, it's either got a faulty switch o is not the problem. Throwing files around the LAN shouldn't be going through the router at all.

Finally, whether a channel is "clean" or "taken" should not be taken as an accurate predictor of expected performance. "Clean" channels can perform worse than "taken" ones and often do. Channel occupancy time and noise floor are what determines performance and neither can be determined from whether a channel is "taken" or not.
