| Best <$100 router with QoS?
Hey guys, another one of these threads, I'm looking for the best bang for the buck under $100 that either comes with QoS controls or is supported by open source FW that can enable QoS. Bonus points for future proofing or the ability to stream from a USB HDD but it's not required.

well flashing different firmwares does NOT increase internet speed.
It only benefits you many ways like if you want a better QoS setup than the stock, better stability, etc.
I only use it for the QoS b/c stock isnt that good of prioritizing things.
If you are satisfied with yours, no need to upgrade your firmware. Asus firmware is pretty good itself.

I don't mind paying more if it's worth it, IMO $50 extra is worth it when it controls all of the internet in the house. I'm running a DLink WBR-2310 right now and it's decent so long as you don't make it actually do much (ie settings as close to default as possible) but it can crap out a lot and it pisses me off.

is Asus AiCloud as simple to use as it sounds to be? Connect a hard drive to the router and be able to access it anywhere you have internet?
