Recommendations: 2.5Gbit/s Ethernet Router with strong and stable WiFi
As the title says. Currently using a TP-Link AC1750 and thought that moving flats and the need to reposition my router would be a good opportunity to upgrade a bit and since my workstation also supports 2.5Gbit/s ethernet that would probably be a reasonable target (10Gbit/s is also still a bit expensive?)
Router should have probably two 2.5Gbit/s ports, since Gigabit internet connection may actually arrive in the future and the 1x 2.5Gbit/s models seem to have that port as WAN anyway and I at least want one 2.5Gb connection on LAN.
I am not really sure about WiFi, is 6GHz already a thing? I think ax is probably enough for the time being? But wouldn't say no to a good option, although I value stability and strong signal/good reception more, especially reception always being a bit of an Achilles heel on my current model.
As far as I checked the device table that leaves me with the Flint2 or the Asus ZenWiFi BT8, right? Cool options like the Zyxel T-56 are sadly not available anymore. I would choose the Flint2, but the reports about signal strength going down when flashing OpenWrt worry me. (Flashing OpenWrt is a must for me, even if the Flint2 has already an OpenWrt-based firmware, but I don't want to use that.)
Or should I probably defer the upgrade and wait for new options with WiFi7?
