I'm looking for a router to replace the generic Telstra one that was installed last year. It's alright, but range is pretty poor and it isn't meant for someone who wants to alter proxies and dns…

Been looking at the Netgear R6400 but wondering if there might be anything better.

Budget is <$200

Needs to have at least 4 gigabit ethernet ports

I'm currently on Telstra cable, soon to be upgraded to the NBN HFC network - something somewhat future-proof would be ideal

Thanks in advance for any suggestions!! :)

  R7000 - pretty confident you can get them for less than $200 and flash ddwrt

  Asus RT-AC68U is very popular on Ozbargain - I can personally recommend it. Currently on special for $175.20 using PUMP20 promo code:

    Would using two or three of these in AiMesh be over kill for a house? It's two story with 5 bedrooms, three living areas.
