Dear all,
I decided to take the plunge and buy a serious router as the one given by my ISP Hyperoptic UK, is a really scarse quality ZTE model.
I don't know which one to get though!
The things that mostly matter to me are:
1)low latency as I play online on ps4 and PC
2)Fast and reliable speeds - no need for it to be the absolute fastest out there but to have acceptable speeds
3)Ideally a WRT router that gets updated regularly by the community (even though I am not a WRT expert)
4)I live in an apartment that isn't massive so I don't need something with ultra strong range
Models I was considering are
1)Linksys WRT32X (105GBP) - I hear though that the official firmware hasn't been updated in quite some time. I was wondering if DD-WRT solves issues and added features over time
2)asus rt-ac86u (160GBP)
Based on the above preferences and the prices...which one would you recommend and why? And if neither of these two, then which one? I'd like to ideally stay at around 150gbp and not break the bank
I look forward to your advice! Many thanks
