I'm in the market for a new router. Mine is on the fritz. So I need some advice.
I've got 30mbps coming into my house. My modem is a motorola surfboard that can handle up to 38.
My wife and I are the only ones connected to the network. We connect our phones. I stream music over our sound system. We do casual internet perusal on the ipad. The only other usage is for Netflix and connecting to our work VPN. The only devices I believe that can even use AC is our iphones, which we don't really need fast speeds on.
Our house is small and we don't need much range, but there are a lot of wifi networks around, so I think we need dual-band.
However, we'll probably be moving a year from now and the range and number of connecting devices could change. I read there will be better AC modems coming out later this year. Should I just go with a cheap N router for now? Thoughts?
TIA :hi:
