I think my trusty Linksys router has finally outlived itself. I got bumped up to 200mbits this week and I am not getting more than 182. I had a look at the charts in advance and the max wan to lan throughput is 217mbits so I knew I would be pushing it. I have got two other routers which are setup as wireless access points in the house which can handle it no probs but I thought I would start fresh and see if I could get one new ac router which can handle everything.
I was honestly looking at getting an Asus router this time round but I have read a few reviews and they don't seem to do as well as other routers of comparable price when it comes to wireless and wan to lan throughput so I have once again come back to Linksys. These are the two routers I am looking at and I was wondering if anyone had any final thoughts. I would love the Asus but I don't need 8 port in the room it is going to be in and as much as I love the idea of multiple links, I wouldn't use it. I am definitely edging towards the Linksys atm, it has had some cracking reviews.

I really fancied getting a tri-band router such as the Linksys EA9200 but I can't seem to find it anywhere in the UK.
