To the one who thumbs down this. I work daily in the security field with computers. I deploy plenty of routers to test in my time. Read up on how a hacked router will take over all your devices stealing your accounts.
The best tell for good hardware is custom firmware support. There's a reason why Asus routers are highly regarded (AC68U still the OG GOAT); Great hardware AND a huge community for custom firmware (Merlin, DD-WRT, tomato, etc.).
I started with a Linksys WRT54G many years ago, then extended it's lifespan with DD-WRT, and finally got the AC68U which ran flawlessly from 2014 to 2024. I only retired it because it officially stopped receiving security updates. Now I just run OpnSense with an Omada wired mesh. Sure, it was way more expensive, but it's an investment into my home and one I'd gladly do all over again.
Is that speed over the air or connected ethernet?
people are claiming frequent disconnections, but I've been using this router for about a month now for PCVR and have had absolutely no problems.
I will say that I disabled the Hybrid QoS feature, and my q3 headset and pc connected via ethernet are the only devices on the router, no internet going through it, just local area network being used.

But this firmware is fine enough imo. The TP-Link AXE75 also can be had used for ~$50 on eBay and performs better than the Predator W6 (info gathered from different sources testing both these routers) but the stock firmware for the W6 is what made me go with this one instead. Most users aren't going to flash custom firmware to their router
The Predator W6 can't be flashed custom firmware without soldering the board (for openwrt at least)

I use DD-WRT and Linksys WRT3200ACM. Are there better router out there or no need to upgrade?
