Has it been a few years since you've bought a new router? Depending on your setup, upgrading to a current model can give your network a speed boost. One of the faster ones out there is the Linksys AC3200 (WRT3200ACM), and it's on sale at Newegg for $160.
You'll need to punch in promo code 319SSKR4 at checkout to get that price, as it knocks $53 off the cost. The next lowest price we found was $200 at Amazon.
The WRT3200ACM is an open-source ready router, meaning you can install third-party OpenWRT and DD-WRT firmware, if you're into that sort of thing. If not, you're still getting a fast and robust router with the stock firmware from Linksys.
This is a dual-band, tri-steam router that supports speeds of up to 600Mbps on the 2.4GHz band and up to 2,600Mbps on the 5GHz band. It also has four GbE LAN ports, a USB 3.0 port, and a combo eSATA/USB 2.0 port for connecting external storage and printer devices.
You can grab this router on sale here.

Paul has been playing PC games and raking his knuckles on computer hardware since the Commodore 64. He does not have any tattoos, but thinks it would be cool to get one that reads LOAD"*",8,1. In his off time, he rides motorcycles and wrestles alligators (only one of those is true).
