I control two Cox internet accounts in Las Vegas. One at my house and one at my church. A gazzilion years ago, I asked for a router recommendation for under $200 on this forum. The Asus rt-n66u was what I was told.
I eventually bought two. It was great advice. The time has come to replace the one at church. The budget has grown to maybe $400. I have always liked Asus products, but that's not set in stone.
Cox is trying to get us to upgrade to fiber, but the price is pretty steep and I don't know if that'll happen, but it's always a possibility. Right now, my speedtests show about 85 down and 21 up. Got any recommendations? If the Asus rt-n66u worked for you, coverage (not sure how much size you are trying to cover), I would stay with Asus. RT-AC86U or RT-AC88U » If better 'coverage' is desired, consider going with a newer technology approach adding mesh technology. A few ways to go. My #1 recommendation is to separate the router from the wifi (i.e.
Don't even use wifi from the router) and use separate wifi access points. Openmesh is what I would recommend, www.openmesh.com. Probably not in your budget and it depends, again, on the coverage area. You could use either the A40/42 or A60/62 (one or more) + a much cheaper router with no wifi (or just turn it off). All settings are managed in the cloud from free with cloudtrax. This is what I use + an Asus router (wifi disabled). #2 would be the google mesh router system.
Router Recommendation For Comcast
I have installed a few that are on a tight budget and the system works well, adds better coverage and provides good performance for 'most' use cases. Costco (was there today) has the 3 node system (a router/access point in one node + 2 additional mesh AP points for $249 or $299 - can't remember.
Best Wireless Router For Macs
» Good luck!! Said by Anon01b8b: Mikrotik has some routers that are fairly cheap that will do symmetric gig. Some learning curve but have read there are simple base setups that work for normal use and go from there as learn or needs. They can do almost anything you ever will need ever.
Then unifi for the wireless is reasonable cost.If you're going unifi for the access points, why not get their 'security gateway' (aka router) so you can manage the whole network from the same interface? I don't know if the Mikrotiks are significantly cheaper, but the ease of management might be worth the difference.

Just I think there is a better selection of mikrotik routers when approaching gig speeds. Yeah, I used to use a few WRTxxx variants with Tomato firmware.
Liked the interface. Moved over to Asus + Merlin firmware - works well. I do not need any WiFi from the router anymore as I made the splash into an OpenMesh AP based WiFi system (did some testing between Ubiquiti and OpenMesh - both worked very well, just felt the ROI/performance tipped in favor or OpenMesh for my needs + mobile and web interface interaction was better).
Nothing wrong with Ubiquiti. However, adding a dedicated VPN into one of the many VPN service providers I have tested/used, (I find ExpressVPN works the best for my business cases, i.e. Performance in the SW U.S. Then traveling abroad), the Asus (and I assume others in the.
