Hi all, I’m looking to upgrade my home router that is beginning to struggle with the amount of network devices on the network. Namely with network dropouts and slowdowns. Current config: ISP: cable modem with 350mbps download and 10mbps upload. (Hoping to have 1.5gbps fibre as an option in the near future) Current router: first generation Netgear Orbi gen 1 with 1 satellite running upstairs. Also has two small 5 port unmanaged switches (100/1000) for wired connections. There is also another two small 5 port and 8 port unmanaged switches running to my main router (100/1000) running a smart tv, several computers, a server, Phillips hue hub, etc. Wireless I have dozens of devices between iDevices, game consoles, tv, laptops, etc. in total I have around 55 devices connected at any given time. There is also an access point (old Asus router working in AP mode) used for all my smart bulbs/switches that is connected to one of my unmanaged switches connected to the main router. What should I be running on my network? I figure I’ll need something for around 80 devices give or take and am looking for something a bit future proof. I’ll be upgrading to fibre someday; and internally I’ll want at least 2.5gb. Is there a router that can handle this config or should I be looking at something a bit more commercial/industrial? And if so, what? Thanks,
