What the....

  >tfw friend's expensive router is full of trouble
 
That's why we're currently using my old used Fritz DSL modem as router, works flawlessly and I bought it for 21€ only. His 140€ Netgear has too many unneeded specs that actually interfere with the connection, don't know why. Have simplified the settings but still got trouble with connecting.

One of the bigger issues now is in general how wifi doesn't extend too far into the house. On my desktop at my old house I used wifi and was a room away from the router and had super inconsistent wifi. I'm like 2 rooms away from the current router and wifi is unbearable now. Using an powerline outlet adapter thing right now but get 14mbit down when I pay for a 60mbit down line.
 
Considering this or the one Axel recommended right now.

I use the ASUS RT-AC68U and it's a heck of a beast. And if you have T-Mobile you can get the router for free on loan or buy one for less than retail.

Oh my, I have T-Mobile but didn't know they sold/loan routers. I'll have to look into that.

Aaah right, my neighbor also had that problem and totally ridiculous one on top of it.
Back then I put the Netgear in the kitchen, his room is just next to the kitchen yet he said he didn't get strong signal and thus plugged his repeater again.
I was like What it's just next to each other but couldn't help it, it's problematic. AFAIK according to experiences with my other friend's and my brother's Fritzbox, their wifi covers large area. It's around 200€ DSL modem/router and doesn't look nice but werks great

There's a catch to getting it as a free loaner, you have to have a phone capable of T-Mobile's WIFI Calling feature. But at least it's not iPhone only anymore.

Weird issues eh. A few of my lower end routers have had rather well poor reliability for me. Probably will see how a new router goes.

Oh sweet I believe everybody on our plan has a phone with wifi calling so that shouldn't be an issue. I'll look into it a bit more once I get off work.

I really did not expect these answers.
Well, most of them.
The "playing with kids/babies" isn't thaaat surprising...but probably not true because I'm not getting swarmed with ladies :p
I like kids! I worked in a kindergarten for a year, do some babysitting from time to time and take care of refugee kids twice per week while their parents learn German.
I even had like four girls independently say that I would make a great father!
Life is strange.

  Cool, I'll consider it as well.

I honestly wouldn't go any higher than AC1200 because those adapters get expensive (mostly desktop only stuff too) and that's where Intel cuts off AC data rate anyways (Intel adapters are the greatest).
 
Edit: The Wireless-AC 7265 adapter might be able to do AC1300? It only shows the wireless AC max of 867, no 300 or 400 for wireless N but some sellers say 400/867, not that things work that way anyways w/ the crossband adding.

I cannot stop watching that last scene in Hibike! Euphonium episode 8 when
 
Reina and Kumiko are on top of the mountain.
 
Such a beautiful scene; art is really pretty and the music is fantastic. It gives a really inspiration, ethereal feel. tbh It might be my favorite scene so far out of all of the anime I've seen.

  So my brother and I are looking at new routers to replace our aging router. Since our birthday is same day next week we ended up looking up higher end stuff like the netgear nighthawk x6, was just a tad expensive but it looks like other family members are willing to chip in... Nighthawk x6 may be possible...

So Axel mentioned the AC68, and Hybrid mentioned the AC56, I'll mention the AC66 since that's the one I just bought a week ago.

I haven't had a chance to put it through its paces yet because our internet has been down (thanks stupid centurylink) but it looks promising.
 

Lol, did you hear about this? http://www.cnn.com/2015/06/03/politics/lincoln-chafee-metric-system-2016-election/
