Hi Folks,
I am due to have FTTP 900 mbps installed and need a router to replace the ISP supplied box (never a fan of them). I already have a Mesh wifi set up in my house which is wifi 6. So I just need something stable/fast and accessible to connect to the ONT and be the brains of my home network - the wifi on it would not be used and (if it came with wifi) would be turned off anyway).
My house has a number of switches etc and then the asus routers which supply the wireless Mesh connection. So I would have no issue buying an Asus again.
However, I don't want to overpay for a device if I can get one that amybe doesn't have wifi etc (which I won't need) but has everything else I would need.
My mesh is supplied via 2 Asus RT-AX86u routers. Due to their locations, I will not be able to use these. I could always get a third, but given the cost, again, is there something else which would do all I need for cheaper? I would like something that is easy to use, but also has additional features such as the ability to use a vpn, restrict adult internet if needed, accessible and well thought out managment page etc etc. Also, something that gets regular updates as and when needed.
Thanks for your help.
