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

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.

I have about the same size house. I had a lapse in coverage downstairs so I put an ASUS RT-AX3000 upstairs which connected to my modem in the office, then I also have an ASUS RT-AX1800 downstairs in mesh mode to provide coverage for devices downstairs. I configured it to assign devices based on whic

If you don't need parental controls or deep control over your system, then go for TP link Deco. Over the summer, I was searching for a new router to replace our Xfinity gateway. I went with OPNsense at first, but couldn't get it set up, and I didn't feel like I wanted a router that I had to spend mu
