Tell me which router to choose for your home network.
Initial data:
Speed from the provider during the day 60 mbit / s at night 99 mbit / s
1 computer via LAN
2 laptops from one WiFi n from the other g
2 cellular
1 Asus Air O-play (it is desirable that it loses rips without brakes via WiFi 720p)
1 TB usb hdd connected to the router
Now there is a Netgear WNR-3500, at first I was pleased, but lately it has been terribly dull. Re-flashing does not help, it looks like a hardware problem ... I decided to change it.

D-Link DIR-620 with keenetic firmware.
Actually kinetics, it is possible at once gigabit.
Linksys E3000/E4200 with DD-WRT.

I would choose Zyxel keenetic . There is a host controller for your drive, high reliability and good user support. I myself have been using it for quite a long time and the router has never caused any complaints during the entire service life (2 laptops over the air, 1 pc over lan, 1 usb hdd without power, 1 cellular). Works 24/7.

And I have ASUS RT-N16 with Oleg firmware, modified by enthusiasts. Just the same media player. Everything works fine - set it and forget it. Torrents are downloaded to the screw connected to the router, I immediately watch the downloaded video on the media player.

TP-LINK-TL-WR1043ND. Gives an honest gigabit for local connections, WAN connections of 100 Mb work out perfectly! The cost is low! There was a 16 GB flash drive in the USB, I don’t know about the HDD.

mikrotik rb750/750G/750gl - depending on which ports you need 100/1000 + any access point,
if everything is in one, then I would make a separate RB / 751U-2HnD

None of the named routers will give a normal speed for a USB screw. Make a separate NAS.
I have a TP-link 1043. The piece of iron is powerful, it can be stitched with at least DD-wrt at least with Oleg. There is a USB 2.0 port, but its speed is only enough for torrents. HD video from this balls slows down.

Linksys WRT54GL won't do, right?
