Hey /g/uys,
Need to purchase a router tomorrow for my 3 roommates and myself. I am heading over to my local Best Buy (in south Florida) tomorrow to look around. Does anyone have any suggestions/tips on what to look for? I am pretty clueless when it comes to this kind of stuff but I know the basics. Currently at my house we have a NetGear Nighthawk and it seems to work well, but as college students we are on a ~$100 budget. Please help and thanks :)

TL;DR - Best Router ~$100, Best Buy, Please Help. Four People using router.

Don't search physical store, check the internet first, and if Best Buy has what you want in stock go purchase it there as they'll pricematch anything that isn't on discount.
>>
Fuck best buy, office depot is the only physical store left that doesn't intentionayl fuck you over with cheap chinese garbage in fancy boxes.

They also price match official amazon vendors. Start there.

Also, what makes you think best buy even has one in stock, at a certain price, and how the fuck are we supposed to recommend shit from a physical location if we don't know wehre the fuck you live.

Secondarily, why do you need to upgrade your router? That router can easily handle 4 people, it's better than mine.

I didn't mention that I am moving out of my parent's house. My parents own the nighthawk. I need to buy one for my roommates and myself.

What's the speed of the internet you're going to be dealing with? Just buy the cheapest router on amazon if it's less than 300 mbps. Literally just got this one and it works great.

Buy the cheapest one you can find and steal the nighthawk.

Do not tell anyone what the 5Ghz network is. Give it a different name like Room 308. keep it for yourself.

Buy a 20 dollar router and pocket the other 80.
