Router recommendations

[Nem]

Im looking for a router for my home network and have the following requirements:

- gigabit

- wireless ac

- dual band

- guest network

bonus points if it supports ddwrt and has some ddns options

whats the cheapest reliable router that would match those criteria?

You sould maybe also chech out Asus RT-AC66U

I have had this for a year maybe, and it has worked a treat.

But one thing to note, is that the 5 Ghz band does have some wierd range issius sometimes, but should not be a problem if your house is not too big

Asus RT-AC68U, solid router. its about 150 bucks.

Hey Nem,

 

I'm also looking for a router in Canada. This is all from my research as I don't own any of these yet.

 

Archer C8 has very good reviews. http://www.amazon.ca/gp/product/B00N2ROH0C/ref=olp_product_details?ie=UTF8&me=

Never would have thought to look at tplink, thanks!

 

Do you happen to know what ddns options the router has? Typically you would find things like dyndns, but I'm looking for a custom option where I can update the dns record through my registrars api
