Looking to replace the BTHomeHub4 with something a little more reliable.
No set budget in mind but probably around the £180 mark.
Requirements:
- Suitable for LAN Streaming (HD Movies etc..) I can't think of a single router would ever not support this but needs to be said.
- Able to handle lots of simultaneous connections. (I've noticed a lot that torrenting regardless of bandwidth caps throws everything else on the network out, just because of the number of connections it makes)
- Must support 20+ WiFi devices simultaneously. (Phones, Tablets, Computers, TV's, Consoles etc..)
- Must have QoS (Preferably IP based QoS)
- Preferably supports OpenWRT (just so that I can have a bit of fun, but not really a requirement. It's something I'm going to be using a lot at work in the not too distant future and it'd be nice to get some prior experience)
- Modem ADSL 2+
- Must not have a built in filter! All of our wall sockets are filtered on the socket, no external or additional filters are required.
I'd think that spending this kind of money it's probably worth getting something that has Wireless AC. (Pretty much all the devices are going to be on WiFi
One I was looking at that caught my eye was:
