Hey fellas....Well, my ISP just upgraded their max 100Mbps service to 1 Gbps a few weeks ago. They gave me an upgrade price of 15$ a month, so it's a no brainer for me to at least try and feel the difference. I know realistically it is not needed as I mainly just game and my family/kids surf and game...but my E-peen will be swoll!
Anyway, I threw my Linksys WRT1900ac in the garbage as well as my 10 year plus loyalty with Linksys in the garbage. That router was a POS and I had nothing but problems with 3 RMA's. I was able to buy an Asus RT-Ac66u that I got for a good deal at Frys. It has been kicking ass and running solid for the last 3-4 months.
I am wondering though if it will be up to the task of a 1 Gbps connection? Thinking about the Asus AC5300 or the Net gear Nighthawk. What do you guys think I should purchase or if I even need to purchase? ISP tech will be out next week to swap out my gateway to a newer one that will accommodate 1 Gbps. Thanks fellas!
