[QUOTE="entropism, post: 946803, member: 81338"] ASUS are quite good, and the best for my needs, because you can use them as a VPN client using the stock firmware. It's the only router that I know of that can do this, most are limited to being a VPN SERVER, not client. That being said, I'd go with the AX86U if you want the best of the the best, which is $250 and probably above most people's budgets. If not, go for the AX58U, which also supports Merlin firmware and all the major features. The only big differences being the CPU being a little less powerful, and 512MB of ram instead of 1GB. OH, and forget the Trend Micro protection on the router. It's A: crap, B: there to mine your data for Trend, and C: hog resources. I'd even turn off QOS unless you REALLY need it (which you won't on a 500/500). Turning on QOS literally halves my speeds to my ISP, from 1GB down to 450mb. [/QUOTE]
