I'm still considering joining Snap (waiting on tech support to answer a question from 4 days ago), but I've read the Fritzbox has fairly poor WiFi. My main PC and AV unit will be wired, and I'll install the WiFi in the middle of my ceiling cavity, so maybe it'd be ok for some of the house. They're still quite expensive routers, and as I read it they have VDSL capability which will be increasing the price unnecessarily for UFB customers. If you go for 24 months they're free, though I'm unsure if I want to commit for that length of time.

Are there other options that are practical, supported, and possible for a person with good technical skills but no specialist networking skills to configure? I'm interested in the Asus routers as they're recommended by Astrill as suitable for a whole house VPN which I might use occasionally. The RT-N66U model is recommended but it's $350, the Asus RT-N53 is a lot cheaper at $150 though it's half the clock speed. I'd have to run DD-WRT on it if I wanted whole house VPN.

Another approach is to use the Fritzbox plus a cheap WiFi router operating as an access point, though this is more expensive not cheaper. I've already got two wifi networks in my house so this is easy.

If you do go with Fritzbox what's the difference between the 7360 and 7390? My reading suggests a difference in the number of ports and RAM. There's only $50 between them anyway.
