Re: What router to buy

I have an Asus GT-AX11000 . If you acquire that you probably won't need an imesh arrangement unless you are in a large house.

Good points: Excellent WiFi range and a WAN to LAN throughput over 1GBs allowing you to take advantage of a 1Gb service. (Not many routers have this.) There are also some nifty devices and labour savers for gamers.

Bad Points: QoS is a waste of time if your connection is 500Mb or above. It pegs my 1Gb service to only 450Mb. Expensive. Most of the gamer devices can be done without if you are prepared to research your own server ports and IPs.
