My current router from 2014 is starting to give up and I am searching for a new one to replace it. I have 3 criteria that I would like for my replacement to have:
Be relatively new
Less than a $150 USD
Have enough power to run a network-wide VPN (my old router would max the CPU when running Wireguard and my speeds were very abysmal)
So far, I have found 3 routers that I am thinking of; Dynalink DL-WRX36, Linksys E8451, and Belkin RT3200.
Truth be told, I am gravitating towards the Dynalink because it is the best overall for the price point it’s on.
I am hosting nextCloud, Lemmy, a plex_debrid serverc SearXNG, and so many more so I need hardware that is able to at least theoretically match my 1Gbps from my ISP over Wireguard with more computational power left over.
Way over your budget but if you can swing it the UniFi Dreammachine is amazing. I can’t recommend it enough and was super easy to configure for my fiber internet at the house
