Top affordable router options available today.
You're considering the TP-Link AC1200 for your home setup. It offers decent range and supports multiple devices, which fits your needs. However, compare it with other models in the same price range to see if there are more competitive options. Always check recent reviews and consider features like security and speed for the best choice.
Here’s a quick overview of your project:
- I’ll share a rough floor plan sketch of the townhouse and the position of your ONT.
- Townhouse dimensions, multi-level status, and size are noted.
- Your budget for the renovation is included.
- Options for purchasing used or items from eBay are mentioned.
- Capability to install Ethernet cables is confirmed, with flexibility on placement.
The house should be roughly 2000 square feet or smaller with two levels. Unfortunately, the router can only be positioned at the corner of the house facing right. It can currently reach about four-fifths of the house. There is a bookshelf at that corner where I intended to install the new router after connecting it to the outlet.
I’d like to spend no more than $75 on new equipment, not from eBay. Right now, the only option is to lay Ethernet cables inside the room and place the router on the bookshelf.
