Hi All,
Recently my online gaming experience has taken a downturn as household members are streaming/browsing etc more and more.
I'd like to replace the standard ISP router with my own that has easy to use and effective QoS capabilities. My gaming machine is hard-wired whereas most other devices on the network are wireless.
I've heard very good things about the Netgear Nighthawks, for example, but they are also quite expensive. I've also heard very good things about some of the custom firmwares, DD-wrt, tomato, open-wrt, merlin etc.
Is there a good mid-range router that can achieve everything i want off-the-shelf or is there a device that really stands out in combination with a particular custom firmware?
If anyone has any experience in this area I would greatly appreciate your input.
Cheers.
