Apologies if I come across as ignorant about networking, but that's because I am 
.
I've been running with the old Thomson TG585 v7 that Plusnet sent me many years ago but I'm fed up with random lag spikes and what I assume are dropped packets. I'm also pretty sure that if I buy a router now, it will be better than the Thomson.
At present, I have an ADSL connection (fiber will eventually be rolled out but who knows when - I'd still like to future-proof a new router by getting one that can handle fiber).
Download speeds are theoretically max @ 7 Mbps and upload is about 2 Mbps. Not great, I know.
I have a couple of devices that can use b/g/n/ac and dual band sounds like that way to go now too. I do like to use Steam In-Home Streaming, but the Thomson actually seemed to handle this okay.
Looking for something under/around £100 - any suggestions?
