Current router is a Netgear AX4/AX3000/RAX35, and lately it’s been giving me issues. Refusing to connect to the internet, showing that WiFi is enabled via the led on the router but is not actually showing up on any devices, can’t support a 4K YouTube stream despite having 100Mbps internet, etc.
I want something with the reliability of my old Apple AirPort Extreme (the tower) that I should have never gotten rid of. I don’t need a mesh system, but it does need to cover 1800sq ft, router is centrally located.
I am looking for something a little more high end/prosumer than an off the shelf Netgear... I’m not buying another netgear as this is the 2nd one I’ve had problems with. What does BITOG recommend?
Edit - I’d like a router that keeps bufferbloat down. The AX4/whatever would generally run 90ms or less loaded latency, the Nighthawk R7960P I’m currently using (yes, I always keep spare routers just for instances like this!) is hitting ~1,900ms. QoS doesn’t seem to help.
