What are some good options for small office/home office routers/networking equipment? I work for a cable ISP. I mainly do B2B sales. My company provides customer are single, sort of crappy, WiFi router, which often leads to a bad experience, especially for SMBs that need effective WiFi in large buildings.
customers ask me for recommendations for routers to get. I have experience with MikroTik, and I like it, but it's not something that the average "non tech person" is going to want to manage themselves. Plus. Mikrotik seems to be completely ignoring WiFi6 (or maybe they just haven't rolled out any products with it, yet).
So, I want to build a couple different labs with different offerings from different brands so I can make recommendations, and help customers out with them if they decide to buy them.
I'd like to find a brand/line of hardware that:

I'd like to find a brand/line of hardware that:
- Has a lot of options/types of products for SOHO users (different router and AP options, mainly).
- Offers are lot of bang-per-buck
- Has an intuitive interface
- Has perpetual licensing for the software, and doesn't require users to have to purchase a $200 piece of hardware to manage their WiFi APs (as I understand it is with Ubiquiti UniFi).
