I’m looking for a router. I have an att gateway currently but I cannot connect a storage drive to the USB port on it because att blocks network storage apparently. I’m told if I get my own router I can connect it to the att gateway and then plug my storage drive to the router finally. Hoping I’ve been told correct. Anyway, below are my needs. Nothing too crazy I don’t think.
1100 sq ft apartment
Att only sells 25mbps where I’m at using a BGW210 gateway
Device count 10 (3 phones, 2 laptops, 1 ps4, 2 fire stick 4k, 1 smart tv, Blink Security 3 camera). Realistically only a few devices are ever in use at the same time.
Heaviest network usage might be PS4 for the occasional Fortnite, Netflix or backing up photos to network attached storage that I’m wanting this for.
Budget: cheap as possible to achieve my ask
Wall construction is drywall, router center of apartment. Currently there is no lag or failure to meet my usage demands. Speed test usually shows 8 to 12 mbps
