I have about fifty dollars to spend. If I can manage thirty, that would be better. I'm searching for a router suitable for Raspberry Pi projects such as a personal NAS and a VPN. My internet speed is only 50 Mbps, so I don't need a high-performance model. Also, my modem is an Arris Surfboard Model SB6141. Thanks!

Do you own another router, or is this specifically for the Raspberry Pi? Do you require Wi-Fi? I’ll look for something similar to a MikroTik Hex.

I own the gateway provided by my ISP, but it’s really bad. I can’t locate a DDNS feature that supports NO-IP. That means I’ll have to rely on Wi-Fi through the router. I might drive the router around daily, but it’s definitely important for the Pi.

You can handle DNS on your Pi directly instead of using the router. It seems the main router might be limited for those speeds.

Oh, okay! I'm still pretty new to networking so I'm not sure how to do that, but I'll look it up. Is there a chance you might know a router I can get any way, just in case?

Did you check those recommended router connections? With that price range everything will stay quite basic and perform similarly, unless you opt for a more hands-on approach such as MikroTik devices or flashing DD-WRT.

You noticed the higher prices in the NY Times articles, but the MikroTik models are more affordable. I tested them with DDWRT Once and got great results. The second one I tried actually damaged the router.

These MikroTik devices seem to rely solely on Ethernet, not wireless connectivity.

The inexpensive models are only wired. A budget option like this should work https://www.amazon.com/TP-Link-AC1750-Sm...306&sr=8-3 Do your ISP charge for the router? I’ll continue using it if they don’t.
