Recommend me a router

[AverageNinja]

Hi there c3d:!
So a long story short: We're finally modernizing.
When our old TV downstairs died, we decided to get a new HD TV, a LG 37" one.
When we were at that store, there was someone of our current provider: UPC.
He told us about Digital TV and faster internet. We decided to get 150MB/s with one of the best digital TV packages; Free Film 1 (on demand) and 100+ channels. We're even getting a laptop and an iPad for downstairs (has to be an iPad, we can't watch TV on android or Windows RT).
Problem is, we can't decide on a new router. My uncle immediately said; Linksys e4200. But we can't get it anywhere.
We're thinking of an ASUS RT-n66u, but since we're also getting a router from the UPC, we're also thinking of trying that first.
Any routers you guys recommend?
Cheers!

I have the Asus AC66U which is the same as the Asus n66U but it has 802.11ac while the n66U doesn't.

I love this router, it is rock solid stable, the firmware is completely open source with great community support (Google Asus Merlin Firmware to see what I mean).

Tons of features, enormous range, great throughput.

So in my opinion buy either the Asus AC66U or the N66U. Can't go wrong with either of them really.

Thanks mate
We're getting the faster internet today, between 12AM and 6PM GMT+1 a service man will come to install everything. So within 2 hours he should be here
We're going to use the router from UPC for a while, and if it's not good enough, we're getting the ASUS RT-n66u

I hear Billion make awesome routers but they're costly.

I recommend Netgear N750

I use Billion all the dropouts I used to suffer just don't happen anymore just the best modem/router I've ever owned, and I've used D-Link, Linksys/Cisco, Netgear and this thing just wipes the floor with all of them. It's worth paying the small amount more for.
