1372364 2014-04-10 03:45:00 What make and model to recommend as it is now?

For home use with 3 wired PCs, 2 laptops (wireless) 4 smart phones, and 1 wired printer.

Preferably under $150.00.

Cheers

1372365 2014-04-10 03:50:00 All-in-one a requirement?

I'd still go with a DrayTek DV130 and a TP-Link TL-WR841ND which should set you back ~$150
Naturally has to run Gargoyle on the TP-Link, but it's well worth it :)

1372366 2014-04-10 04:28:00 Do you *just* need a wifi router, or do you expect it to have a DSL modem of some sort built in? If you need one with a DSL modem, Chill's suggestion is about the best option for your budget. Otherwise, an Asus RT-AC52U shouldn't be much outside your budget (~$180) and is fantastic. inphinity (7274)
1372367 2014-04-10 05:53:00 I only need the wifi router; so it's Asus RT-AC52U vs TP-Link TL-WR841ND.

WOW, the TP-Link TL-WR841ND is soooo cheap - only about one-third of the Asus!

Chilling, how is the signal strength? Have you used it personally?

1372368 2014-04-10 05:56:00 I haven't. I've only used the TL-WR1043ND and the TL-WR941ND

The 1043ND was best by a long shot, and it was absolutely superb WiFi range!

1372369 2014-04-10 09:46:00 May probably get a TL-WR1043ND. You flashed Gargoyle or original TP-Link? bk T (215)
1372370 2014-04-10 09:47:00 Always Gargoyle. Always! :D

Have a look at their dual-band models too, most of them have very good Gargoyle support, and they're even better in terms of throughput!
