BEST BUDGET ADSL/VDSL ROUTER

ASUS DSL-AC52U $150 | tp-link.com.au

Like the RT-AC88U above, ASUS’s DSL-AC52U offers a similar info-packed interface and broad range of software features, but to hit this lower price point it’s had to drop some of the hardware features. That means it only has basic 802.11ac Wi-Fi that runs at a maximum speed of 433Mbps on 5GHz (as compared to up to four times that on more expensive routers), but that should be more than enough if you’re only connecting a handful of devices. You still get four Gigabit Ethernet ports though, and FTTN NBN compatiblity too.
