The router that comes with my ISP is notoriously not great either as an individual device or for WiFi. But I don't know where to start in looking for a new one.
I get the highest up and downloads I can get where I live, 400down and 50 up. So I don't need a Gigabit capable router but if price isn't a factor, why not future-proof is my philosophy. Several LAN ports aren't really important because I'll be using my switch to get to the hardwired devices I need to feed. I will be using my existing Mesh system anyway for WiFi because it works with the layout of our apartment. But apart from that I just want to not have a router where someone in a tech forum recommends doing something with my router that it turns out I don't have the ability to do.
I see TP-Links like the Archer and the ASUS ROG Strix but I don't really know why they're so popular and how they would benefit me? Can anyone recommend something? Budget is hard to answer because I don't know what these go for anymore. I haven't had a wireless router since my Linksys WRT54G over ten years ago. Just give me prices that are reasonable for what I need.
Please, and thank you.
