RT-AX1800S

I decided to go with ASUS RT-AX1800S instead. Turns out this router is rock solid with stock firmware and provides all the features I need. It has up to 3 separate guest networks, one of which I set up as IOT. It also allows me to use a custon DNS server (I use Pihole for DNS) and it is super good a

I own the ASUS RT-AX1800 and RT-AX3000. I like them both. I don't use either of them as my gateway anymore though. I upgraded to a sg-1100 pfSense gateway recently and have both the routers running in AP mode now. One for upstairs coverage and one for downstairs coverage. I, as others have said, enc

Ideally it should be in a location that gets a strong signal from the main router, but also be able to provide a strong sig

Yes, it's a great upgrade. WiFi 6 instead of WiFi 5. Tri-band (2.4ghz and two 5ghz bands). Much faster ports (2.5GB & 10GB, either can be used for WAN or LAN) and then 4 other gigabit LAN ports. More memory. Faster CPU. Increased security (with addition of WPA3 - clients need to support it to use it

I've had an ASUS XT8 mesh system for approaching 5 years (in June). So technically 4 years and 8 months. Still working well. Seems to me longevity and reliability are most important to you so so I think XT8 is a solid pick. You could buy a single XT8 for $175.58 on Amazon. It's WiFi 6 and has good c
