Netgear and Asus make good routers. Also last I checked I believe Netgear had the fastest wireless router on the market. Someone please correct me if I'm wrong!

- izacus 10y agoBoth Netgear and ASUS AC1900 routers are good, you just need to buy off the top of the line (~80-120EUR price range).
- danieldk 10y agoHow regularly and how long do they provide security updates? (No attack, just wondering...)
- croon 10y agoI have an Asus RT-AC87U, which I bought in 2014, and it gets a few updates a year. Not sure how long they'll keep up. Ok, just checked RT-AC66U as well, which is from 2012, and it still gets updates too.
- ryao 10y agoAsus has semi-unified firmware for product line. It makes keeping things up to date easier. Quality went down hill on the RT-N66U (wireless instability), and rather than stick with older firmware that had more security holes than I could continue to track or try to fix it, I went with Ubiquiti equipment.
- croon 10y agoAh, that's a shame. I have nothing but good things to say about mine, but if issues like that happens in the future I'll likely move to merlin/tomato/some wrt (if the hardware is still viable).
- ryao 10y agoUbiquiti equipment works better in my experience.
