$90 · ASUS RT-AC68U Router

This is a legendary powerhouse 2.4GHz/5GHz router, great upgrade to that low power router your ISP gave you. Dual core processors. USB 3.0 port for drive/file sharing. DNLA and every other router feature under the sun. Tons of options to use for firmware and the manufactures (ASUS) firmware is excellent and fully functional. ASUS provides regular updates. You can read the reviews online, this router sells for $220 + tax. I have 2 of these, price is for each one. Strong 2.4GHz and 5GHz signals. Good for an entire house. Can set up a home mesh network or using one of the readilly available open spurce firmwares turn your router into a VPN client. AsusWRT Merlin Tomato DDWRT
