Recommend Router/access point with high speed wifi

[Andrew1972]

I have a decent internet speed on my Ethernet hooked computers in home with 85Mbps. I use a wrt54(8 years old) as my wireless access point and only get about 20 Mbps tops on iPhone and iPad. Any recommendations for a router or access point(disable DHCP on router) that will improve the speed to what I have on wire with some ability to penetrate 100 year old lathe walls okay?

Who is your ISP? I hate to say this but my Wrt54 and buffalo running tomato are both collecting dust. The Comcast supplied wifi router is giving me everything I need

I'm no expert but when my house went from 1 to 5 wifi devices I had to get a wireless router rated at 600mbps to actually have the devices work at my service rated at 60mbps. Cost about $55.

I would vote for a TP link Archer c7. Great Reviews and probably the most popular wireless router at the time for good reason.

If you're getting 20Mpbs on the 'ol WRT54G, signal strength is a non-factor, and there's simply no need for current high-end solutions; you're simply capped by limitations of old hardware horsepower and the 802.11g standard. https://amzn.com/B0088CJT4U The N750 TP-Link is only $49 on Amazon. Even outside of throughput specs, want to be blown away by how far routers have come? Your old Linksys probably has 8MB RAM. The $49 TP-Link has 128MB RAM.

+1 We have one at our house and the speed is great and has been ultra reliable.

How about an HP r110. Business class reliability.

I've had very good performance with my Ubiquiti access points. I'm still running off a consumer grade wifi router with the wireless turned off. Ubiquiti seems to edge near business class, but at a lower price point. https://smile.amazon.com/Ubiquiti-Networ...ywords=ubiquiti

It is important to choose a device that offers an adequate amount of range. Also, the best router for multiple devices should be a Dual band router. Try looking for further recommendations at http://www.consumertop.com/ or on http://www.cnet.com/
