Which router to choose for medium home loads?

Question

ASUS

Good day. I would like to consult about the correct choice of network equipment.
Tasks:
- Stable multicast for iptv on several devices
- Stable operation under load (torrents, video streaming, a sufficient number of simultaneous network connections)
- Good wifi (video transmission to apple tv) I would like to support ac standard (one whole device supports it, and makes backup copies through it)
What is now:
The provider cable comes to Asus RT-AC66U (it serves as a router and access point, the firmware is original)
From it are connected by wire:
- Computer (surfing and iptv)
- Computer - Home server ( gives iptv over DLNA further, iptv)
- Apple time capsule
- 2xRaspberry pi
Power line Tp-link AV500 nano goes to another room. Unfortunately, the wire cannot be run there, and wifi, of course, does not finish. At the other end is AP linksys ea4500 and distributes the Internet to apple tv and raspberry pi, which are connected to the TV. I tried to bring out the Power line next to the TV, to connect it with a cable, but when the power grid is loaded, the speed drops completely.
A laptop, phone, tablet are connected to wifi.
Problems:
- The speed is not enough for the smooth operation of apple tv.
- The picture on iptv collapses even on devices connected by wire, and after a while the router itself also falls.
Can you please advise suitable equipment?
After reading articles, reviews and forums, I came to the idea that I need to put microtik (I don’t know which model to choose, I also already read about setting up iptv on it) as a router, but with wifi it’s somehow not very good (in 2011 there is no 5GHz ), so another AP is needed. Is it possible to keep Asus as AP and will it have problems with multicast ? From professional access points I found Ubiquiti UniFi AP AC, but its cost is no longer small, but with the ac standard, powered by ethernet and will clearly cover the entire apartment.
Thanks for answers.

Forget Mikrotik and IPTV. there he is crutches on crutches. you need something with ac format and gigabit ports

Answer 4

I will make a reservation right away that the solution is expensive. Placed in luxury homes. Or cottages. Before deploying the network, a radio survey is done if voice or IP-tv will be transmitted.

Answer 5

I recently solved the same problem at home. Asus RT-AC68U stood, distributed the Internet by wire and WIFI. IPTV worked, but a little with plugs, there were 3 IPTV boxes in the apartment. The provider also distributes a box of films via IPTV (PIRS-TV), but the video did not go in HD quality, the picture crumbled. I installed a Mikrotik RB951G-2HnD router, with multicast turned on, I didn’t turn on wifi on it, Asus is distributing wifi. IPTV and HD movies began to show stably, even over the air.

Answer 6

A router is the same computer it has a processor, RAM and flash memory the more powerful the processor and the more RAM the better the faster the packets will be processed the more RAM and the more powerful the processor the more packets the router can process
in any router there is NAT its task is to convert ip addresses, for example, 192.168.1.101 to 65.96.14.77, this is a resource-intensive task if the router has a weak processor and little RAM, then the router cannot process many packets, as a result, the speed drops or the router freezes
At this point in time, NOT all routers can work correctly with ipv6
, I will list those that they can Mikrotik, d'link can (
I recommend to buy), but in TP-Link routers ipv6 support is declared but it does not work normally
