BT Home Hub 4, soon to be replaced with a Cisco 1941ISR G2.
TP-LINK Archer D2 - AC750
Can't recommend enough, for £60 its does everything its suppose to do very well.
Replaced a TP Link W8970 which was also great but didn't survive a lightning strike, would have got another but though I may as well upgrade at the same time for a little more money.
The DLink Talk Talk router I was given wasn't bad but did struggle with many connections and didn't have gigabit connections which my network is setup for.
Netgear D6200
Asus RT-N56U. Had it as replacement for previous Linksys router that had various hiccups (trouble loading Google Maps, go figure).
Absolutely love it, dual band lets differentiate connections through several devices (older laptop gets 2.4 GHz, smartphones and TV get 5 GHz), no problem streaming 1080p video from PC at all, no lagging or anything (had problems previously to stream even 720p video to laptop previously).
ASUS RT-AC66U with 12dBi antennae, on Merlin Firmware, instead of a Sky Fibre Hub.
SKY HUB 2, i wouldnt know if i could benefit more from a more expensive router because so far i have my main pc, and tv connected with Ethernet cable, pc through tp-link powerline!
A Virgin Media "SuperHub 2ac". I switched off the 2.4GHz wireless radio (why pollute the band when you don't need to?) and left the 5GHz on. Works flawlessly with the wired PC and wireless for Nokia 925 and Amazon FireTV stick. The speed of booting to all-services ready is not a strong point, but nevertheless not quite as slow as GF's ISP-supplied ZyXel something-or-other on ADSL.
pfSense VM running on my HP Microserver - added a 4-port Intel NIC which the pfSense instance gets exclusive use of. Added a standalone WiFi access point on one of the port. Works great
ASUS AC66U. From the Virgin AC router. Far fewer issues since the switch. Can't praise enough.
Still using a ~10yo D-Link DSL-504T ADSL modem / router along with a D-Link DI-624 (AirPlus XtremeG) wireless router.
I guess it's passed time to upgrade. I should have had fiber by now.
Asus RT-AC68U (otherwise known as the "dark knight"). Simultaneous dual band, massive range and as configurable as you want it to be. It's also designed to be able to use DD-WRT if you wanted it to.
I do know everything, just not all at once. It's a virtual memory problem.
got one of the Asus RT-N56U Dual Band Wireless N600 Gigabit Routers to replace the abysmal Plusnet one.
Good device.simple and easy to set up and feature packed.
TP Link AC1750 Archer C7
I needed something with range that didn't cost the earth. It works.
Do I love it? No, it's a router.
Currently using the supplied Sky Hub SR101. Works well enough not to have bothered looking for an alternative.
I changed routers quite frequently to test and see what works and what doesn't currently running mikrotik before that pfsense and sophos utm home edition. Will eventually go back to pfsense... Just need to build another box with an internal WiFi card.
Virgin Super Hub. Never had a problem and very intuitive setup. Why change?
