I want better cyber-security at home

A good and cheap option would be something like Ubiquiti Cloud Gateway Ultra. Or a bit more expensive all in one device (with the wifi baked in) like their dream router 7. They come with everything included to better protect your network. See here: https://help.ui.com/hc/en-us/articles/3042671844763

Help choosing a router for upgraded internet

Ubiquiti Unifi Dream Router 7. Easy setup, lots of expansion capabilities. Just a warning, they make everything easy to do and you’ll end up spending a lot of money upgrading your network because it’s so easy. I’m at 1 UDR7 router, 3 Flex 2.5 Gb switches, and now looking at their camera setup and tr

Done with TP-Link

Hey OP, I'm sad to hear about this experience. I've been there myself (poor aftersales support from a well-known brand, in this case it was JBL). The Decos are only compatible among themselves for a mesh setup. Meaning, if you replace your unit for another brand, it will work, but not optimally. You

Help finding new mesh wifi

Ubiquity! I had a Orbi and decided to replace it. I bought a Ubiquity Dream Router 7 and 3 access points. It has been a month now and is working fantastic. 58 devices and a NAS. One of the APs is 100’ from the house in the shop and several devices out there connect to it from almost another 75-100 f

What are some good WiFi 6 routers at the moment?

If you're near a Microcenter, this is going to be the best you can get within that budget: https://www.microcenter.com/product/692536/ubiquiti-unifi-dream-router-7-desktop-10g-cloud-gateway-with-integrated-wifi-7,-poe-switch,-microsd-storage Also, if you have coverage issues, the Dream Router 7 is c

Having mesh wifi forced upon me at my apartment

Not to product promote… Ubiquiti just released a dream router 7 with 5G built in. It may totally be overkill, but if you want a robust home network running on cell service with wireless backup. It’s probably your best bet. I think you can set it to use WiFi and cell as two separate WANs and it’ll ch

please Help with house router

They are different form factors and different uses, and you should be looking at store.ui.com for current models - there are few other valid outlets for UniFi and it's best to buy direct. (MicroCenter is an exception to this). The UniFi Dream Router, a.k.a. UDR7, is an all-in-one device similar to t

Finally ditched my regular router and got a UniFi router

For now simply using it for my home network in a small apartment. But wanted something where I can both connect some devices with Ethernet and also with WiFi. Plus down the road I have the flexibility to install additional apps if and when I get a house (wife wants one, so definitely happening) and

Asus tuf ax4200 or pay extra for WiFi 6e and get rt-axe7800 ?

6E adds the 6 GHz radio band but is otherwise a wifi 6 router. If you don't need the 6 GHz band, I would not pay extra to get it. It's sort of an interim between plain wifi 6 and wifi 7 and is a little useless unless you can specifically use that band. In a few years, wifi 7 will have reached maturi

Buying my own equipment

Modems don't matter a lot (the standalone ones - most are good at what they do) - but if you want to buy your own, look on your ISP's approved list - it needs to be something they support. Most routers will have decent coverage, they are regulated as to power and emanation - only the cheapest junk w
