Need new router

Smrtnik

I went the other day to add a new device to my wifi so opened Firefox to connect to https://192.168.1.1 which is my router which is also configured to only allow that access on a wired line (which i have). I wanted to look up the wifi pw which is to long and complex to remember.
Firefox usually warns me about a missing certificate then let's me through, but not this time, instead it showed an error. Tried IE and got similar error. Some digging around got new the following facts:
- some exploit has made ssl bad, browser's no longer support it
- my router speaks ssl, does not have tls
- my router has 1.0 firmware. The latest firmware for it is 3.1 and it's not offered on manufacturer website (linksys) was only able to find it on some shady 3rd party binary distro site. 3.1 is from 2009
- i vaguely recall some articles on ars about router botnets

Conclusion: i need a new router.
I need something that will:
- have proper security
- work with with all my devices (laptop, couple of phones, Chromecast, wii u, 3ds, samsung smartcam) at a good speed

Any recommendations?

Have nothing but good things to say about my TP-LINK Archer C7. Best router you can get at the price point (~$90-100) I think. I liked it so much I sold my sister and her husband on one for their new place, too.

If you play online games, make sure your router has QoS (quality of service), which lets you prioritize game traffic, so that your Netflix/Hulu watching family doesn't screw over your online play.

I've always bought a D-Link meant for gaming, not cheap, as they've all ran about $150-$200, but they've all been rock solid, with low online lag gaming, even when someone else is watching Netflix.

+1 for TP-Link. I use one of their travel access points when I go on the road, and it is rock solid. The configuration is easy, also.

If you're willing to go through the motions, you could probably rescue that Linksys to at least keep stumbling along. See if there is a way to use a USB port on the router to push new firmware. You can also use either DD-WRT or Tomato and nuke the generally shitty Linksys software.

I've also had middling success with Asus routers on my FiOS home network. I blame most of the odd issues on the shitty FiOS firmware, on the shitty FiOS router. Just like their phones, Verizon can't keep their grubby hands off the low level operating systems.

I've replaced the stupid AT&T Uverse home gateway with an ASUS RT-N66U as my primary wireless router, and have nothing but good things to say about it.
