Asus RT N66U for me here. Been running it for 2 years pushing tb's of data. It stays up for months at a time. The only time it reboots is when I'm doing a firmware update. I just bought an AC68U to replace it. That being said there's plus' for both methods.

Netgear R7000 is on sale at amazon for $150.
Review here: Router
Otherwise if you want cheaper, the TP-link C7 are going for about $80 at various places.

You could say that you could buy a car too. But building one is much more fun. Isn't it?

Isn't it? | When I was in high school, I remember a motorcycle machine addressing the topic of building vs buying a bike, particularly the claim that building was cheaper. They chose a particular bike (a Kawasaki 400 street bike of some sort, if memory serves) then priced out every. single. part. down to the last washer. The cost of parts alone was something like $14,000; retail cost of the bike was under $6,000.

Try a free solution before spending money on something that may not even solve the problem. For all we know, a stronger or 5ghz wireless access point will do it for him.

Guys, I am looking for a new AC router as well, that will handle my new 500M internet, new dual-bay Synology, and 600sq-ft home traffic.
My current setup is a Buffalo WZR-HP-G300NH (N router w/ DDWRT) + Synology DS111 that I have been using for the last 4 yrs, it's time to upgrade. I don't torrent or game that much anymore, mostly youtube, run the LeTV apps, and jerk off over the RS Porno thread lol. I am thinking Synology RT1900ac, but isn't that overpowered?
Will 3+ antennas really necessary for cell phones? Any other recommended routers that will fit my situation.

That being said I've never seen synology make routers before so I'd probably go with one of the more common ones like Asus AC68U, Netgear R7000, maybe the Archer C7. At least you can load custom firmware on those. Also that being said you probably won't get much benefit unless you upgrade your wireless devices to AC as well.

I ended up getting the TP-Link Archer C7 when it was on sale for $80 at dell.
- No longer gets drop connection when I download at >2.5Mb/s
- File transfer between computers on the network is much faster.
One thing tho, I am getting 23-28ms latency on speedtest.net. (wifi)
is this normal? I think I used to get 12-20ms ping with the old crappy router.

^ If you think like that, you will probably never buy anything. IMO wireless N was able to satisfy the needs of most people. Anything beyond that is a bonus.
