January 2017 WiFi Router Recommendations?

If you are looking for a good performing router that has 4G and WiFi as WAN failover capability in case you lose power or internet, check out the PepWave Surf SoHo AC1700 for $179.
It’s a 1700AC Gigabit router with 4G and WiFi as WAN Failover capabilities. It will use your cable modem’s internet connection primarily. If cable goes down, it will then use the 4G USB modem. If you have free WiFi near you, you can also setup WiFi as WAN and use that as failover as well.
The failover happens automatically. Your devices stay connected to the router and this router determines which internet connections to use, with no noticeable loss of internet to your devices (internet speed will obviously vary depending on which connection is being used).
This router has 5 gigabit Ethernet ports, 3 external antenna’s, 3x3 MIMO, 450Mbps on 2.4Ghz and 1300Mbps on 5Ghz concurrently. Has a range of 300’ radius indoors.
