I currently have a 7 year old medialink router (N Broadband Router with Internal Antenna - 2.4GHz - 802.11b/g/n, idk what all that means tbh)

Would this be an upgrade? Thanks

Perfect for my parents. Their router is ten years old. Tried to freaking update the firmware today and it said error. Turns out it's a known problem and linksys could care less.

How does it compare with TP Link AC1900, for additional $20?

Upgrade over an Apple Airport Extreme? No problems with it right now but if it has better range, that helps the WyzeCams I have around my place.

Little advice please.

Would this be a upgrade to a 3 year router I have below?

Medialink AC1200 Wireless Gigabit Router - Gigabit (1000 Mbps) Wired Speed & AC 1200 Mbps Combined Wireless Speed (Part# MLWR-AC1200R)

You say gigabit wired but are all ports gigabit? It may be a little better than the one you have now, but personally would fork out a bit more for something a bit better anyways if you already have what you have.

I need range not some crazy speeds (my internet is 200mbps) and just stability. I don't connect 100 devices, maybe 20 tops, and that includes wired units. Wireless I am probably at less than 10.
What do you recommend?
My netgear R6700 sucks.

My internet is only 75 mbps. What I need now is something that won't bottleneck. Coming from an Asus RT-N12 do you think I should go with your linked one or the Amazon one? The microwave now gets to mine and Hue motion sensors take forever to activate the lights.

I moved to the Tp-link when my Asus ax router crapped out after less than a year. At any given time I have 30+ devices connected to it mostly wireless without any issues.
