the best router for home network

[manofsteel]

Hi,

 

I looking for best router that is around 1000 in my currency, the shop i using mostly is http://www.morele.net/ (sorry for the fact that it is my native langauge and some of you can have some problems with it ;/).

 

The router needs to be somewhat safe (i know i know everything is not 100% safe but at least that 99% ) and needs 1 Gb/s bandwith with 4 additional lan prots for home (cuz we have like 3 or 4 computers) and possible a wi-fi network.

 

I was thinking about http://www.morele.net/router-d-link-ac3200-wifi-a-b-g-n-ac-dlna-czerwony-dir-890l-742945/ but dont know if its worth its price.

 

Thank you for any advice

 

Cheers

It is ?   I suppose if you know z followed by (what looks like) an L with a line through it is a Zloty then OK else...

In the future (everywhere not just this forum) if you are asking for help/advice do everything you can, tell people your currency is Zlotys do not have people have to google it .

 

I had a tutor at college who used to travel around looking for WiFi networks to break into (war driving) for fun so as you say nothing is 100% secure.

However you can make your network harder to break into than the one next door and keep-out the non tech savvy who are looking for a free ride.

Not broadcasting your SSID is a waste of time, and filtering by MAC address is both time consuming/hard to manage and easily bypassed

 

To get the 90% security encrypt your data and have a strong password (WiFi) (WPA2)

To get five nines (99.999%)turn off the WiFi altogether and have only wired connections (I think the only way they can break in then is to gain physical access to the wires [or join NCIS and be able to decode the small variations in magnetic fields surrounding the wires.    ])

 

Virtually all routers nowadays come with four LAN ports and will 'do' a WiFi signal too. (Probably configurable an a 'net interface)

Quite probably any ac or better router should use the sort of speeds you want

He means Zloty.

I'm not sure about that all in one stuff. I recently got an Ubiquiti EdgeRouter X and Ubiquity UAP-LR. That combo is pretty business grade and works like a charm. It's harder to set up than those "all in one" routers tho and probably harder to get too, but should easily be within your price range.

i dont wanna sound rude but sometimes combos that are hard to set up are not as hard to break but still i appreciate the advice. I am looking for all in one becuase we have a ISP modem and router so basicly we got like 2 gates system (at least i think so because only wan cable is connected to modem and rest to router which is connected to modem) . We got a router that has 300 mb/s bandwitch and connection up to 250 mb/s and i know it sounds foolish to searching for new router but i want to change it for :

A) future connection upgrade

B) using less router banwitch which can cause router to stop or start melting (atleast i think that can be a case

C) better security solution even despite fact that it is hard thing now on these times

D) easy to setup which i want to point out that i wouldnt mind doing all stuff and learning things if not the fact that i am not the one who decides about our connection speed and dont wanna destroy our network for like a week before it will work again cuz of mistakes in setting it up ;p

 

That begin said if somebody decides to advise me a combo like man above than be prepared that i gonna ask you to explain me how to setup such configuration ( i am not a masta of internet ).

 

Oh and one more thing, please forgive me for saying that but the router purchase can be in a near or far away future depending when i finish my pc and than plan on little things such as this ^^

about my currency we got a special symbols that i wouldnt explain correctly as you did and sometimes we use PLN as currency symbol thats why it is hard to me to say what exacly currency we use. That begin said i though you would just search for a name of brand or a specific router in the shop that linked in first post and tell me about it becasue only huge number there is a price which once again i though its easy to notice ;p

bump cuz i think this one slowly dying ....
