New Around Here
Currently have a N600 wndr3400 which seems taxed by many new wireless devices coming into our home over the last 3 years.
Assuming a new router will help the situation I am considering either a ASUS RT-AC68U or a NETGEAR Nighthawk AC1900 . I'm pretty neutral brand wise, viewing each of the above as a good value per smallnetbuilder.
Currently, a windows 10 box is used as a dvr tuner and dnla server. I am intrigued by the faster (usb) transfer times of more expensive routers. Our dlna demand is very low, typically one device playing music or video in the evening. Nobody is a online gamer and we have about 5Tb of content spinning in a usb3 enclosure backed up to the cloud daily.
That said I really do not want to stand up another box; NAS or otherwise to offload the work the existing (very old) server is handling. I'm looking into non-PC dvr solutions and evaluating options for dlna.
In short, is router attached usb storage with dlna a livable solution for our merger dnla needs; Recommendations?
