One which is capable of using the Wireless AC standard, together with compatible adapters. You will not get much better than the Asus Dual Band Wireless AC1750 Gb router.

Re: which is the best router for wifi connection ?
Given that these are about £150, is there much improvement on the Sky SR102 router?

I have the Asus RT-N66U and that is a massive improvement on the wireless of the standard SR102. Originally Posted by Racey43

Re: which is the best router for wifi connection ?
You should only need to enable UPnP for On Demand to work.
When it was first launched (under the name Anytime+) it was necessary to open some ports with some routers, but the software has improved and this isn't necessary now I believe.
