I wonder if anyone could please help me choose my next router?
Currently I have an old Asus RT-N66U which I have to say has been absolutely brilliant. It's totally bomb-proof and stays up for month upon month upon month without any issues at all. It get rebooted only when we have a power cut, which is perhaps once a year!
But unfortunately, clearly it has no AC wireless and increasingly I have devices that do support AC, so I'd like a new AC router.
I am tempted by the R7000, but I can get the R7800 for only £10 more. Would it be silly to get the R7000 when the R7800 offer so much more for so little extra? Or would the R7000 be the better "bomb-proof" replacement for the Asus?
I don't really need (or would know how to use) any fancy facilities. The only thing I would mention is that I use wireless HD video senders which uses the 5GHz channel 36 and I need to steer clear of that.
Edit: Should I also consider the N7000 (I'm on BT Infinity 2) or is it best to steer away from routers with build-in modems?
Thanks for your thoughts!
