Need Suggestions for a good WIFI router

I think ours is on it's last leg. Do not need any thing fancy... no smart home or anything.  Do you recommend one?  I only ask as it has been many  years since we purchased the one we have now  and I know technology has come a long way since then.

I have a Netgear and it's never given me any problems.  My grandson set it up and did it in about ten minutes.

I have a Linksys and it works great.  I wouldn't spend the extra month for an AC wireless router unless your have devices that are compatible.

I 2nd that recommendation.

 

My original 9 yr old AE R.I.P. on me last month.  Hopefully, my new AE lasts just as long or even longer.

I've had my current Airport Extreme for at least 6 years.

Re: Need Suggestions for a good WIFI router

We had one of the old Apple AirPort Extreme Base Stations ( the one that looked like a large, white Hershey Kiss). Worked great for about 6 years.  When we got a new iMac and iPad and iPhone, we decided to get the newer version.  Works great.  Would recommend it to anyone (Mac or PC).
