So it's time to finally get rid of my Wireless G router haha!
I know these consumer grade routers are frowned upon, but I am not very savvy when it comes to networking, and I don't have the time to devote to learning how to setup the "pro-sumer" stuff.
So I'm looking for a low cost solution to upgrade to a wireless AC router.
These are the two I'm looking at,
Asus RT-ACRH13

vs.
TP-Link Archer C1200
https://www.amazon.com/TP-Link-AC12...qid=1533984681&sr=8-5&keywords=ac+wifi+router
I do want to use the USB for an external HDD, but short of that, I just want solid, low ping Wifi. I only have a 2-3 devices using bandwidth at any given time. Mostly gaming and streaming TV. House is only 48' long, router will be located in basement and Wifi devices used on ground level.
Please advise..
