I’m shopping for a new router and I would prefer something from a company that isn’t stealing my data and spying on me at every opportunity.
I live in a small house, 1100ish square feet. I have 8 wifi cameras, 6 computers (two are for work), a handful of phones and tablets, nearly 50 lights and other smart devices, and lastly I have 10 Sonos wifi speakers. I would also strongly prefer something that is wall or ceiling mountable.
My current router is buckling and can’t handle the load. I would very much appreciate any advice or recommendations you can offer me while I’m shopping!
Asus is my go-to. Very reliable (2-year warranty) the software is powerful and based on an open source project and there are several third party options that you can load on it. They can also do mesh networking. For your number of device I would get something pretty powerful, probably at least an ax5400. I would also suggest replacing your smart devices with zigbee devices, so they won’t be on your wifi and they will use far less power.
