Does anyone love their wireless router and wants to rec it?
After ~6 years, it's time for me to upgrade; I can absolutely see degraded performance.

I'm using an Asus RT-AC86U
I work about 60 feet from the router and I know that degrades speeds, but even the TV next to it doesn't do too hot either. 
Every time I reset that's when it works the best hahaha

what you using?

i'm still on an airport express from 2012, love it's "just works" characteristic but getting increasingly difficult to "configure"it today

No longer providing me with 70mbps download and 50 mbps upload.
Sometimes I get under 10mbps download, but upload will still hover around 25mbps.
I haven't tracked ping enough to know.
But then i reset the router and things are good.

I DO know i need to run a hardline to my computer, but i'm lazy. AND I'd like to get NAS set up on a new router.

run wired ethernet to your workstation (non-negotiable) and consider a mesh system for the rest of the house, maybe netgear orbi or tp-link deco?
