Looking to beef up my girlfriends wifi network at her house, they currently have an outdated one that only has a 1 bar connection one room over. I was going to buy this at bestbuy, but the sales rep said to stay away from "anything Belkin", so I didn't buy it. Does anyone have a recommendation for the 60-80 dollar price point, or a reason to spend more?

 

I am running a 2MB/s download .2MB/s upload internet package which works fine wired.

Try Netgear and get one of the AC type model routers for around $80 and it should work great. https://www.netgear.com/home/products/networking/wifi-routers/?cid=wmt_netgear_organic

Any specific one? Every single review seems to have some instances of "Don't Buy!" or "Failed after 1 year!".

 

Edit: This one looks half decent: http://www.bestbuy.com/site/netgear-ac1200-dual-band-wireless-ac-router-multi/8827854.p?id=1219371334344&skuId=8827854 but newegg has a different story: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16833122787&cm_re=netgear_ac-_-33-122-787-_-Product
