A separate access point(s) allow you to have a generally better software based router.

My various purchases of wifi-firewall/routers over the years have left me generally underwhelmed.

You mean, dedicated access point?  The 85M/30M limit is through wired connection to my router.  I get the same limit via wireless. That's why, I was thinking to upgrade the router.

As has been suggested by others break your wifi from your router.

I use Sophos on a VM to run my home firewall.
Its a nice product but you have to dance around a bit to get a free license.

I also have some VMs running OpenWRT.
OpenWRT is not the best firewall in the world but can run on a large number of hardware platforms. You can use it to repurpose an existing computer or load onto a network appliance.

Hi all,

I was upgraded (by my ISP) from Cable 75 (75M/10M) to Cable 100 (100M/30M).  It turns out my router (Asus RT-N66U) maxes out at 85M/30M.  Connecting directly to the modem, I get full 100M/30M.

So, it's time for a new router.  It's been long time since I shopped for a router.  Which one do you recommend?
