I had routers from Netgear and TP-Link and none satisfied my needs which are:
Laptop A needs to have the highest priority when it comes to bandwidth. All the time. So even if laptop B is hogging the wireless network with torrents for example, I want laptop A to have the full bandwidth the second I turn it on and start downloading a large file from a FTP server. When the laptop A finishes downloading, the laptop B can have full bandwidth back for torrenting or whatever.
Like I said, I haven't been able to accomplish that with a TP-Link Archer C7 or Netgear 2200 (that's an older model). I even contacted the TP-Link support and their instructions couldn't help me either. They finally said that they don't support what I want.
Where I live I can only buy online Asus ac68u or Netgear r7000. Which of these two can support my scenario?
I should point out that I will be buying the modem-router combo, so it's either DSL-ac68u or D7000. As far as I know, alternative firmware are not available for modem-router combos so I'm stuck with a stock firmware.
And I live pretty far from exchange so my signal is not very good.
Thanks!
