There is no such thing as overkill.

I had that router for a while and then moved to several Ubiquiti UniFi access points to over my entire property. It was a great product for what it is trying to be.

Nope, a routers function is more than its throughput ability.

That router is great. Threw Tomato on it. Fast and never drops out or had to do some crappy reboots. Also ran 4 VLANs without a problem and VPN.

Never such a thing, it is funny you just posted about it since I have one waiting for me when I get home. Just got delivered today to replace my DGL-4500.

Definitely the way to go for a decent sized house/property. I have done this quite a few times for friends. Haven't used the Ubiquiti, but have used a few other products.

That sucks . I really liked my DGL-4500, but I have had it for awhile and it was just having some issues as of late. Hooked up the Asus last night and man, I am loving it so far. The interface is much nicer and the router works a bit more effectively.

As far as throughput goes, 15Mbps today, 150Mbps tomorrow. I'm still running my Linksys WRT54Gv4 nearly 10 years later. Its max rated routing capability is 25Mbps and back in the day I only had 3Mbps from Comcast. Cable will continue to increase speeds, where it will stop is anyones game, but they will continue to increase as they have been.

So don't plan for today, plan for tomorrow when purchasing any hardware including networking gear.

I'd never consider any "consumer" router to be overkill.
