I bought this beast to help out with my Perk farm. http://www.amazon.com/NETGEAR-AC3200-Nighthawk-Tri-Band-R8000/dp/B00KWHMR6G
I'm in California and I pay up the nose for faster net.
verified speeds with fast.com and speedtest.net
I also saw a significant steady speed increase by changing my router to a Nighthawk X6
I personally use the Netgear NightHawk x6 R7900. Comes with standard 2.4 and (2) 5Ghz channels. Just saw on amazon the new model going right now for the same price as the one I bought last year. Here is the link check it out:
IMO: It's better to use your own router than pay for theirs renting it out, when in the long run for one year renting theirs you pay $120, when you can cough up a little more and have your own and use it almost in any type of internet service.
