Hi everyone, I'm looking for a new wifi router.
I'm looking for simultaneous 5ghz/2.4ghz.
My house is decently sized, so good range is necessary but nothing exceptionally big (larger than average American house).
At most about 8 concurrent sessions.
Don't really care for custom firmware.
Don't really care for features, just need to be able to port forward, which I'm confident any router can do.
Won't be doing anything outside of regular home use.
It needs to have at least one ethernet port.
Want it to be fast of course?
So I don't know if this matters or not but it will be placed in the middle floor, corner of the house, so if it'd be possible to direct the signal both up and down, that's good since usually the radiation pattern is mostly upward/outward. I don't think any exist that let you point the signal directionally 180 degrees but that's ideal.
Modem is Motorola SURFboard SB6141.
I'm not looking to spend a whole bunch, and as you can see I don't think there are a lot of specific features that I need so don't throw me the most expensive ones possible. I'm guessing I can get everything I asked for for $100 or less.
Thanks for reading, willing to order online in the US or drive to the nearest best buy if the price is the same as online.
