New Around Here
We decided to go with rogers since the price was just over half of what bell was charging.
Now we know why, I have multiple devices with static IP's, when I try to do port forwarding, it sets an IP reservation, what is actually *.*.*.16 is being redirected to *.*.*.45.
I just spent almost 2 hours on the phone with them, and they got fairly cranky at the end of it, also, they can't fix it, or tell me how to login to their router directly, it makes you go to [ignitewifi . rogers . com]
I am less than happy, but going forward if I have my own router, setup will be easier when I switch to another ISP provider.
So, I am looking for a decent router that can handle lots of traffic (I have a plex server and an ftp server that friends access), has a good wireless range, is stable and doesn't drop WI-Fi or LAN connections, and yes, I am on a budget. I would be willing to spend up to $300.00 Canadian - taxes in.
I am hoping to get something with a long life too, I still have an RT-N16 with Merlin firmware on it, and it is rock solid, perfect for the workshop access point and network switch.
I don't know if the new stuff is as solid or will last as long as the RT-N16, but I can hope!
Thanks.
* Edit:
I managed to grab an RT-AX86U on Prime day, at a price I could not only live with, but was quite happy with.
Thanks to everyone who took the time to reply and give me food for thought, I am more than pleased with it so far.
