Looking to replace my router....

[chess]

I have a mom and pop ISP (Metrocast now Atlantic Broadband) and they suck ha...

Anywho I have 150meg package with them, and the Asus RT-AC66R is basically on its last leg...

Therefore I have been doing some research and I am trying to determine which is the best play...

Asus AC-5300
Netgear Nighthawk X6
Asus AC-RT3200
Go Mesh ? If so suggestions...

I do alot of gaming, streaming (2 console at all times, netflix, youtube, streaming media...
I have an attached NAS as well, so I need GB ports as well.

Thanks for any and all inputs !

Seems kinda young to be on its last leg :-(

Go Mesh ... ?

What shortcomings with a single router solution were you experiencing that you would consider mesh (while still considering continuing with a single router solution)?

I look forward to your update particularly as to what benefits you realized over your AC66R (since I've been long considering a similar upgrade).

It has alot of issues, especially the samsung smart tv filling up the log.. I have searched and searched and no one has an answer......

The reviewed I have read about the 86U especially in here, are just blowing everything else of the water... I prefer the interface where I can control it so thats one reason I didnt go with the Amplifi Mesh or anything else. The 86U is half the cost.

I will let you know once I get it next week and configure it. I certainly have no problem s sharing my thoughts etc.

Any updates on your 86U?
