At the moment i got a router-modem-combination from my ip and i want to be more independent.
Therefore i want to use the provided hardware as bridge and buy my own router to manage my network.
In my home network i got
2 Desktop PCs (cable)
1 Switch (cable)
Several WiFi devices including smart home devices
Pi-Hole
Mac Mini as a linux Server (cable)
Synology NAS (cable)
AVM repeater
Before i start my own extensive research, may you recommend me a Router for my setup?
I have an RB5009 and it’s great. I’d say they’re actually quite easy to get going with the default config. It’s when you get the itch to start messing with stuff that the learning ramps up.
Second the RB5009, I have been using it for some time now and love it. It was an upgrade from my old Mikrotik router, because I wanted more performance out of the tunneling. Performance is one thing the RB5009 has in abundance.

I have an hex s and it’s great, but it’s a pain in the ass to setup if you’re not an expert at this stuff.

I mean, if you don’t need to do anything but what the default config does, you can buy just any consumer router.
Also I use a wAP with the Hex S and the wifi defaults sucked hard.
