I am looking for a new ac router. which ones are better?

I am leaning towards the brands ASUS and Linksys. but both of them seem to be around the $150-$200 price point

I saw a deal for the WD my net ac1300 for $100. does anyone have experience with the wd router? all I see are mixed reviews. it either works or it doesnt.

 

or do you guys recommend me to stick with a more expensive and more reliable ASUS or Linksys? if so which one is good? my internet speed is 50mbps down/ 10mbps up

Save yourself the trouble, spend that extra money and get an ASUS or a Linksys it will be worth it.

Something wrong with your connection ?

They are pretty much the same, some people dont like the Linksys'es firmware. The Asus has external antennas.

Id go with the Linksys if it was my choice.
