    TP-Link Deco X60. I wanted something simple to be configured through an app, I don’t want to do network maintenance at home, I just wanted something simple that worked and this has been flawless.

    Another vote for UniFi gear. I administer four homes for myself and my family, three of them all use UniFi equipment (and the fourth will next time I get over there, it’s in another country).

    I use Ubiqiti’s UniFi range. Perhaps a little pricy but rock solid and easy to setup. Check out the Dream Router if you want something all in one.

      Meh. Their software is getting worse and worse lol. No deep links inside the interface, and it logs me out, when I reload the site. Why? They redesigned the interface for the 10th time, and the Mesh overview screen still isn’t shown on the mobile site. Their mesh solution completely relies on magic and provides no solutions to my TV, which really likes that one ap which it can reach with 1Mbit/s rather than using the one next to it which would archieve 800+Mbit/s They still persist on using DECT based smart home stuff. Get on with the times and integrate a Thread/Zigbee chip or support USB ones. The NAS functionality is completely useless as it is way to slow. No real VLAN support, still.

      If you need a stable modem and basic wifi, and telephony they are decent. Anything else is better served by the competition.

    Netgear Orbi mesh system. It works pretty well. I think when this system dies I’ll go back to using Ubiquiti gear.

    Xiaomi Router 4C with OpenWRT firmware.

    It’s very cheap and can provide 100MB/s speed, but I didn’t trust the original Chinese firmware

    Yet another Unifi user here. I use a UAP-AC-LR (long range). I have a two story house so I mounted it in the stairway landing wall. It covers the house pretty well.

    I’ve got a old AC1900 in access point mode (it’s failing tho after 6 years and 5-6 moves) and a cheap $30 Netgear access point from Amazon. Both linked to my.PFSense router. Works phenomenaly

    TP-Link Omada WiFi access points, dumb switches, and OPNSense running on a mini PC.

    I really like the Omada line up. Affordable, and all their devices can be run in standalone mode if you don’t want to deal with an SDN controller.
