Routers, About to buy a new one.

I figured I'd ask and see what you guys thought, and what you guys are using.

 

I've tracked down an issue to my wireless router being the cause of some port forwarding problems I've been having.

Today it's also been dropping wireless traffic and even forwarding traffic to my computer.

 

So, I'm going to get a new router, I was told to get a Asus AC2400 but I'm not spending $300 on a wireless router. I just can't.

I can spend about $150. I want wireless, I also want something decent. My current home is 2,600 sq ft and my next (Mines on the market) will be between

2,000 and 2,900 sq ft so I need a decent wireless signal as well.

 

So I found the ASUS (RT-AC68U) Wireless-AC1900 Dual-Band Gigabit Router

 

Its $180, for the black model.... Yet on the same page for the White Model it's only $150, For $30 I don't care if it's white....

Is that overkill?

 

I will have (Like I do now) Charter 60mbps Coming into the home, then it will throw out wireless, as well as connect the 8 Chan. POE Switch for the cameras and my computer.

 

I see the Asus AC1750 is $120, But I assume the one above is worth the $30 price difference right?

I am currently using this one and have zero complaints. I am a HEAVY bit torrent user and I also have two servers, 2 gaming consoles, 5 laptops and 7 Mobotix cameras running at my house and this thing just keeps on trucking without a hiccup.
