What router do you currently have? Anything but complete garbage from the last decade+ will have gigabit ports.

Archer C7. Been using them for years and never had an issue. They also match any aesthetic you might go for, can be attached to walls, and come with two USB ports for "NAS" functionality.

Yes, only negative thing is the router interface, It's actually horrible, but I haven't played around with many other routers since that's the one we have.

Our ISP sells these as range extenders so they must be pretty good, one of the people at our ISP thought our router was a range extender they provided haha :D

I think the interface is one of the better ones. I've used Linksys, TP-Link, Netgear, and Belkin (God, I hate Belkin) and Linksys was the easiest to use.

I agree, a long time ago we had linksys and they've always been easy to use :)

i have 100mbit  router both lan and wan ports .

 

archer c7 is expensive here.

 

i was looking at Dlink 842 https://www.amazon.com/D-Link-AC1200-Wi-Fi-Router-DIR-842/dp/B00PVDVYIS

 

 

 

My Dlink router has done well over the years. Ive had it since maybe 2012 and its been solid. Other than I had to install DDWRT on it due to a firmware bug. You might have to restart the router if you make any changes in the firmware, but that has been my only complaint. 

I just want to sit back and watch the world burn.

so my isp upgraded me from 100mbit to 200mbit , and i need to buy a gigabit router to utilize 200mbit.

 

my pc is wired , please suggest cheap router that can support 200mbit of wan bandwidth

Having gigabit ports is one thing - being able to route gigabit traffic is another matter. Most consumer routers struggle with anything above 150mbit. What's the cost of a Ubiquiti EdgeRouter lite where you are? Note it doesn't include WiFi but you may be able to use your existing unit as an access point

I find the Archer C7 to have a serviceable interface. Not the most amazing, but very solid. That router in general seems quite good.

Features: yes

Confusing interface & names: most certainly yes

overall good combo: yes

From what limited experience I have had with the C7 the only issue I seen is that, in some places in the firmware you could tell the translations to English were not that good. But for the most part it was pretty easy to set up. My only other issue with TP Link is they dont support DDWRT.
