What router would you recommend for my situation?

It definitely is not IMO. Mikrotik is a lot of fun and you get a ton of hardware for the price, but it's like being dropped in a foreign land without knowing the language and it doesn't act like any other common router interface, even with regards to verbiage, so online guides will be more scarce.

Just Quick Router Suggestion

My recommendation for a low budget, small apartment, living alone router if money is tight: https://www.amazon.com/ASUS-AX1800-Router-RT-AX1800S-Subscription-Free/dp/B09M9477NS/ But if you can at all afford it, you actually get much better value in the mid-tier in terms of longevity of usefulness an

Looking for router alternatives after TP-Link concerns

asus is usually solid. had the rt-ax1800s for a while, no issues. firmware updates keep it secure. worth a shot if you're switching from tp-link.

Looking for router alternatives after TP-Link concerns

Yeah I've been running the RT-AX1800S for about 8 months now and it's been rock solid. The web interface is way better than TP-Link's garbage too, actually lets you configure stuff without wanting to throw it out the window

UK DSL Router / Wifi 6 Needed?

Even FTTC should be getting you better available speeds than what you got. It's hard to imagine they're running DSL from the fiber on the curb to your home. You should get a decent router regardless of your Internet speed, for a few reasons. First, longer term firmware support. Buying a NEW WiFi 5 r
