Hey folks.

 

Looks like my router has died. Heard a "popping" noise this morning, tried plugging it into a few other wall sockets and heard the popping noise from there as well. I'm unsure if it's just a plug thing, or the actual router. No lights went on or anything.

 

 

 

Anyway, looking to buy a new router today, likely would have to be from Harvey Norman/Noel Leeming/PB Tech as I'll need it today, what do you recommend? Nothing too over the top, my current one is a 2Degrees FritzBox 7560. Looking to pay $150 ish at the absolute maximum, my internet use is quite "low". Mainly browsing/Youtube/Streaming/Very light gaming. I'll be the only user using it as well, so I don't need something top of the line.
