What router Should I get

isaac2223 · April 13, 2014

I was planning on buying a new router due to the fact that I plan on getting a Nvidia Shield and am currently using a linksys WRT54G. I was wondering what are some of the best routers I could get for around 100 dollars give or take 20 bucks

Here are some I found on Amazon that I think seems good:

(from cheapest to most expensive)

WD My Net N900 ($55.45)

TP-Link Archer C7 AC1750 ($95.99)

Asus RT-AC56U ($119.99)

NetGear R6250 ($126.95)

All of them has gigabit Ethernet ports.

All of them has things like USB ports for things like sharing an external hard drive.

All of them are dual band (good for your Shield).

I am kind of worried about the first two though. The WD My net seems waaaaay too cheap for an N900 router. Other routers in that class are quite a lot more expensive (usually about 100 USD). The TP-Link one also seems really cheap for the kinds of speeds it advertises. All of them looks good on paper though, but I recommend you read some reviews of them to make sure there isn't anything strange going on with the first two on the list.
