I'd like to get a newer and better router.
Budget is $300-ish.
Was considering R-8000, R-7500 or RT-AC87U(R). But it looks like the firmwares of these routers are still in development.
So I'd like something solid and stable (even if it's "older" model), dual band N/AC (2.4GHz band is severely congested), decent USB 3.0 HDD support, Gigabit ports for PCs. Not interested in third party firmwares.
My internet is 60/4, on wired I have no problem getting that but on WiFi I don't get more than 32/4.
This is what I have now:
D-link DIR-655
D-link DAP-1522 in bridge mode
Current WiFi devices: (2) iPhone 5c, (1) Samsung Note 3, (1) iPad 2, (1) Roku 3, an old laptop (draft N)
Current wired devices: (2) wired PCs connected directly to router, TV, BluRay player, WDTV and AV receiver connected to D-link DAP-1522 bridge.
Future devices: (2) iPhone 6/6+, WiFi printer, NAS.
Thanks in advance.
