Stable router below 200$?

[chanwei21]

Hi, I have D-Link router DIR-825,DIR-842 & DIR-860L but it seems d-link's got a bad processor/software wich I need to restart the router to let the system work well.


when it gets slowed I can't even open the log-in page to reboot the device. so I need to manual switch off to reboot it.

I uses a stand w/ 12cm fan to cool my routers so my router didn't get hot.

any suggestion for a good stabled router wich likely have good processor and rams?
I don't care the wifi things. but I need a stable router.
main feature needs, DHCP reservation, Port forwarding, if have scheduler reboot device it will more appreciate.

If you don't want/care about WIFI then a Mikrotic HEX -- https://mikrotik.com/product/RB750Gr3 Or a Ubiquiti Edgerouter -- https://store.ubnt.com/collections/sale/products/edgerouter-lite

kanewolf what is the difference between that hex and a regular network switch?

 

[kanewolf]

The HEX is a home network gateway/firewall and a switch is just a device that can plug in multiple ethernet cables.
All home routers have an ethernet switch built-into them. That is how they have 4 or 8 ethernet ports. They also have generally have WIFI. The OP said WIFI doesn't matter so I provided routers without WIFI.

does ASUS, D-LINK, TP-LINK, Toto-Link, Lynksis, Netgear or Zyxel have router like this? because Mikrotic dosn't available in our location market.
