hi , i am not sure how to ask this, but i am on 800Mbps unifi at the moment, the question is
what router is best value for money for gaming stability on Cable connection,
i was using the tm provided dlink 842 Tm firmware and its horible( tm build in dns server connection ) , so i swap back to my trusty old Dlink 615 .
yes i know its only 100Mbps support but stable .and i am happy .
so what can you recomand which is not pocket burning and best value for money for gaming, and downloading/streaming? without having to restart every week/day.

i was recomanded to get tp-link ac2300 or asus rt ac3200

Thanks!

Hi, just want to ask, I am not sure if I were to replace my tm router, dlink ac1200 giga lan , on 800Mbps unifi

was going to change to to Asus rt86u my friend said its overkill.
Want to change the current router Because of its tm firmware force to connect to somewhere as stated in the home menu of the router and it feel slow.

If I wanted a stable router with a cheaper option for ( gaming , torrent , NOx streaming) and I am focus in cable
And good recommendation beside that I was looking at (asus rt 86u ).
thanks in advance for the inputs.

RT-AC86U is an AC2900 router, local new set should over RM1000. You can get TP-LINK C3150 or C4000 with lower price, but newer hardware and technology.

You mean the Asus 86u and the c 3150 are new hardwares and tech or 86u old tech?
