Wireless Router

[Definitions]

Ended up getting a linkysys ea7500 ac1900 router. Works very good throughout the house.

Connection is dropping pretty often now. I'm not sure why. I think I'm going to open it up and clean it from dust. I'll see if that helps

Anybody ever tried cooling a router with a fan to see if there's improved performance?

if I'm getting Optimum what router and modem is good for me to buy sir don't have pay monthly rent on theirs? my house is 3 floors and I want wifi on all levels- I also will have tv and landline if that makes a difference

I need a router that can handle 12-16 (possibly more) devices connected simultaneously. Not for heavy usage just basic stuff.

Can any regular router handle that or do I need an expensive one?

I see in the description of this one it says supports up to 16 so I'm assuming cheaper ones might have a problem

Not sure what they mean with the wording in the description, but a cheaper router (basically any normal router) can certainly handle 16 devices connected simultaneously.

Me personally I would just stick with the modem they give you. For the router all I can say is that I have the Linksys ea7500 in a fairly large house and am happy with it.

I got it used for $45 on eBay.
