Places like business location or in events it is must have. This router is has the power to handle 50 (yes you read it right – Fifty!) devices simultaneously. You need long range, you need lot of multiple devices support, you need security, you need multiple wifi names (SSID) then this one is for you.

5. Asus have also made its place on the list. It is a dollar or two high from $100 but the device worth it.

Our take on ASUS RT-N66U Dual-Band Wireless-N900 Gigabit Router

The ASUS RT-N66U is a very sturdy router that can create 3G and 5G connections. The main use of this feature is bandwidth allocation, you can give access to 3G to those who does not need high speed or you don’t wanna give your whole bandwidth. The 5G connection can have more bandwidth so the owner has it all :D.

This one worth its price and is a long lasting hardware. My friend owns one he loves it. Even I get jealous with him sometimes.
