I live in an apartment on the top-most floor (3rd), and the Wi-Fi on my Netgear N600 WNDR3700v2 is no longer working properly anymore (both 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz), but is still able to perform all other functions. I don't really want to spend money, but if I must the budget is $135 (about how much I spent on my router 5 years ago on Amazon).
Floor plan (544 sqft):
2.4 GHz spectrum at time of writing:
5 GHz (lower) spectrum at time of writing:
5 GHz (upper) spectrum at time of writing:
Options I've considered:
I like to keep an open mind and to benefit in research and opinion via community inquiry. Until I decide on something I'm just going to go the old fashioned way of wiring into the router for internet access.
Thanks.

Options I've considered:
- Open Mesh OM5P-AC (http://www.open-mesh.com/products/access-points.html) + WITHOUT existing router, straight into cable modem
- Ubiquiti UAC-AC-PRO (https://www.amazon.com/Ubiquiti-Net...TF8&qid=1483409161&sr=8-1&keywords=uac-ac-pro) + existing router + use Linux VM for UniFi Controller with VMware Workstation
- Stop using Wi-Fi and go the old fashioned route (wired)
