The reason why i asked questions first and not just pop out routers is because of exactly what jack said.
There is no super router that is a one fix all solution.
1. The TPLink is a great router, i have one, however its not stable when u start hammering it with torrents.
It will need constant reboots, and its still consumer grade.
2. The EdgeRouter is one of my favorates, however it lacks almsot everything.
it has a shortage of ports. Its 5 ports where one needs to be WAN, leaving u with 4 ports.
If thats enough ports its fine, however if you need more, you need to purchase a switch.
It has has 0 wifi, and the inital setup is not really plug and play.
You need to go into network properties, manually assign an IP and run the wizzard first, before DHCP can kick it and take over the rest.
Although its not difficult and there are a lot of youtube videos demonstration how to do this, its still not a "lemme plug this in and have it work out of the box router." It was never advertised that way to begin with.
It also lacks WiFi if your looking for that, which means u need to sacrifice one of the 4 ports left on the router for a Access Point.
Dlink / Linksys 3200AC super routers!.... to me is all garbage. Yeah they look awesome and like an exotic sports car, however the price paid for one of those high end units, you can get a full ubiquiti setup and go bottom tier enterprise.
So you buy something based on your needs, and not based on reviews as jack said.
What works for person A will maybe work for person B, but not all the time.
