Recommended Gigabit Router under 80 USD.
You're thinking about gigabit LAN ports for your home network, right? It sounds like you're considering a gigabit switch since you're already getting only 30 Mbps. That makes sense, but networking can be tricky! Let me know if you need more help.
If your existing router remains functional, switching to a Gigabit switch could be more cost-effective. In the US, you can purchase an 8-port switch for around $20. Simply connect an Ethernet cable from the router port to the switch, and then attach all necessary Gigabit devices to the switch.
If you don’t have a router, it’s better to get one with gigabit capability. This ensures everything works on a single device. Most routers come equipped with at least four ports on the switch side. This setup means you only have one device, and the switch lets gigabit devices communicate at full speed no matter which ports are connected. If you don’t already have anything, consider purchasing a gigabit router right away.
You can ask for suggestions within the budget you mentioned, and I’ll do my best to help. Thanks for your message!
It's been noted that the Archer C7 AC1750 from TP-Link performs well, similar to the Touch P5 your family uses. It delivers consistent results and has a user-friendly management interface compared to other routers in its price range. Typically priced near $80 in the US, though results may vary depending on location.
