Quite annoyingly I can't find one of my Linksys speeches so the following will have to do:
The
EA6700 must have been on an offer at the time I made that post a few months ago because it is £95 now.
As with everything it is always a balance between features vs cost and although there are some routers which are £15 cheaper, making the jump to AC amongst other things is worth the extra for the sake of future proofing. You haven't talked about price range so as a rough guide I would have a look at these 4 and assess your needs:
Linksys
EA4500 for £43 - dual band N900,
254mbits wan to lan throughput
Linksys
EA6200 for £65 - dual band AC900, 932mbits wan to lan throughput
Linksys
EA6700 for £95 - dual band AC1750, 892mbits want to lan throughput
Linksys
EA8500 for £130 (
fantastic price down from £230 and cheaper than the EA7500) - MU-MIMO AC2600, 702mbits wan to lan throughput
My final words of wisdom are this. Linksys are absolutely superb but Asus are also very very good. Whatever router you decided to get, I cannot emphasise enough that you should only get a Linksys or Asus. There are cheaper brands out there like Belkin and TP Link but in my book cheap = stress because they throw tantrums and don't do what they are supposed to. If you want a quality router with high performance and loads of features go for Linksys or Asus.
