Upgrading router

Dransk · April 18, 2016

Hello i am relatively inexpereinced in the networking space, i am hooked up woth NBN and i am very happy with speeds i get 5 ping on cs go and the network is stable. However my router is a peice of junk n300 Wifi Gigabit Router, every time i reset my router it drops out every 5 seconds for 2 days here is a review of people having the same issue. This is the router i am looking to upgrade to i have heard it is a beast and i am not sure if it will work with my nbn. So if my n300 works (After the 2 days) with my current network will the c9 archer? it is quite expensive because i am Autralian. My current network setup is the the nbn cable into the n300 and that is it. I have a ethernet cable from the router into my desktop and i have an xbox one, 360, galaxy s4, 2 other phones and a laptop and tablet on my wifi network. Only two phones use the wifi and the desktop used quite often and tablet sometimes and xbox one is constantly using the wifi that is all the devices on the network is that a lot? And can the archer handle all the devices plz help thank you

it should work perfectly fine as long as it is compatible. for that price i'd be shocked if it didn't perform well, asus high end routers seem very well regarded though, might be worth a look.

not sure what standard you use upside down, in uk we get ASDSL+ mostly, they give router+modem in same box and be done with it. not familiar with the NBN, presumably you get a normal lan cable to plug your router into. Should work fine, just make sure it has all the right holes and standards supported that you need...

My sister has the Archer C7. She has a few smart TVs 1 Laptop, Desktop, and 4 tablets. It works fine for her. So I figure the C9 should be fine. It doesnt sound like your going to max out the wireless. So again I think it will work for you. My sister had a N150 router. She went to the C7 and they get about triple the range and much better speeds.
