I’m in the market for a new WiFi router or mesh system. My previous Asus gaming router often crashed and reset, and I’d like to avoid such issues.
Key Needs:
• Stability for multiple phones, laptops and smart devices (lights, plugs, cameras)
• Good Range & Speed
• User-Friendly
• Ability to connect about 8 Ethernet devices
Budget: Reasonable, prioritizing value.
Would love to hear your recommendations, especially if you have a smart home setup. Thanks a lot!

I’d recommend giving the ASUS Merlin firmware a try if you feel up to it. It might work out better than stock firmware if that’s what you’re running.
