Hey all. So my internet has been going out every so often and web pages load very slowly. I replaced the modem yesterday and the issue is still there which leads me to believe its the router. I have the Linksys Max-Stream AC2200. Only had it since December.

Im looking for a router under $250 that can support 15+ devices in a large home. Mostly game consoles and PC gaming.

I would summon the Archer C7 or C9

or a Ubiquiti AP and turn off wireless on the router itself.
