Hello -
I am looking at replacing a Linksys e4200 router. I have a gift card for office max, so unfortunately I'm stuck buying there. I've been reading up on the Linksys WRT 1900 and the Netgear R7000. I have no specific features I want or need. I tend to set it and forget it. I have several devices pulling off the wireless. 2 iPhones, 2 iPads, 2 roku, a chromecast and up 2 laptops, one is ac compatible. We have a fiber connection that is 40/3.
The local office max has the v1 of the WRT 1900. If I go with Linksys, should I try to find the v2 instead? Office max has the R7000 on sale for $169. I've always had Linksys, my only reason for not jumping on the Netgear as yet.
The e4200 has been a good router, however I want better range out of the 5ghz band. I also plan on using the stock firmware, so stability is big for me.
Thanks for any advice!
