TP link is a good choice. You can find one online at a good price. I use B78582, does very well.

I'm on Charter with a netgear router. My wired computer is running at 64mbps and my wireless is at 49 mbsp with an upload of 8mbps.

I dont need to read reviews posted by idiots that dont know anything about networking to know that ASUS is just another SOHO POS. And Netgear has a security flaw discovered about every month or so.
I prefer to run something with DD-WRT so that I can adjust the output. (and other reasons.)
fiber service is still very limited to where it reaches. But even so, 50mbps, is still under the 54Mbps limitation of the majority of wireless devices in use right now. And being that 99% of home users are only using their router to connect to the internet, and not do internal networking, the bottle neck will still be the internet speed. And that doesnt even get into the speed limitations that are in place for services like netflix and iTunes. They dont allow you to take advantage of a 30mbps service when streaming any way.
Yes, I do know everything.

Actually, you are pretty much wrong on everything. For one, the AC routers can potentially reach 600mbps. However, wired networks now run in the gigabit range of 1000mbps and even higher. But, being that no Internet service provider in the area is offering service faster than 30mbps, and most are really 10mbps or less, a wireless speed of 54mbps is a moot point.
Actually fins you are wrong about that I have 50mbs here and its through wilkes, which is offered on fiber

Unless you are famous like the Dos Equis man why would a hacker bother with a home network when there are servers that have thousands of passwords and credit card information on them? I however did contemplate hacking Zombies network just to mess with him. ¥

Like I said any router will give you a lot faster speed over it's wired connection compared to it's wireless connection and put a few walls between you and any WiFi and your speed will slow considerably. Now the only way around this would be to increase the transmitted power level of the router and your device which is limited for your safety.

| Netgear routers are great if you want people to be able to hack into your network and access your computer

Fins you don't know everything. Check the reviews on Asus routers there smart guy. You always got to run your mouth on everything. I thought I run into to someone that knew everything. But now I have. Give this guy a cookie!

redkoolaid (view profile) Posted 1:52 pm, 04/12/2014 I have a Asus wireless router and sometimes I have 10 devices running wireless and it never skips a beat. You get what you pay for.
That's hysterical that you bought a POS Asus router and think you stepped up and bought something special.

Crypt Posted 6:58 pm, 04/11/2014 No wireless (54 mbps) is going to be as fast as wired (100 mbps). The bandwidth is a function of power level and the wireless signal power level is limited for your safety.

The real problem is probably on the OP's computer. Probably malware that is screwing up the computer's wireless performance

Are you sure the incoming service is what you are paying for? Run speedtest.net with your computer hooked directly to the modem and then hook up the router and run it again. Make sure you computers are 802.11 N capable.
I am running the Netgear Nighthawk and is the best wireless router I have ever used
