I'm going to replace my Netcomm nb6plus4wn router, and chasing recommendations.
I'll try and list everything about this one
I can connect at 22.6mb on ADSL 2+, stats below (you will see it dropped whilst typing this message). I'm on a RIM.
The ADSL connection drops out randomly. Some days it will drop multiple times, other days it's ok. This is the main issue why I'm looking at replacing it.
If I plug a double adapter into the pone line and run a second phone drop outs become worse.
At random times I cannot even connect to the routers interface, even using cat6. The interface often is very slow to navigate if wireless uses are connected.
Samsung TV and home cinema will not connect to it wireless. They did connect for about a month and no longer talk to it. I've tried re-entering the passkey etc.
We can have 4 mobile phones and a laptop connected, but sometimes it randomly refuses to let one of them on.
We have a few pcs connected via cat6. Most are hiding behind a gigabit switch.
We have a ps3 connected via cat6 as it is very slow via wireless.
We do have a reasonable amount of downloading/gaming. (1tb allowance per month)
We have a laptop connected via a 20m cat6 that sometimes won't work on the internet with no errors.
What would be a good router to set and forget for me? No specific budget, just something that will work reliably and give decent internet speeds.
I see above the netgear D6200, but I'd be happy to grab the D6300 to get the bonus of usb ports for an external hard drive for backups. I'm not limiting any decision to any brand.
