New Around Here
Need advice regarding a new router for relatively light use - a couple of phones, ipads and laptops, plus a TV and a few IoT. All of these are still on AC. Its going to be the only router in a relatively small house (wooden walls) so decent range is a plus.
At the moment I can get a RT-AC86u on sale for the same price as a RT-AX58U (about €130 which is my max budget ), but I'm a bit worried about how long the older models will have firmware upgrades. Is the RT-AC86u still the better choice in this price range, or are there other devices that are better? AX isn't needed at the moment, but might be useful in the future. On the other hand I prioritize stability and reliability over max speed.
I hope some of you with more experience here on the forum can point me in the right direction as to what I should buy!
