CityFibre router suggestions

[OverDrive]

Hi everyone, I am looking to buy a router to use on City Fibre. I am planning on using IDNet at the moment. I would really aprecate some suggestions/advice.

I would like it to have Wi-Fi 7, a 2.5Gbps WAN port and at least 1x 2.5Gbps LAN port for my PC.

Planning on keeping it for a few years, so ideally it will still have a few years of firmware support to come from the manufacturer. I would like a fairly decent Wi-Fi range on it as it needs to be able to provide signal to a 4 bedroom house. My gaming PC is in the office room on the ground floor and the ONT and router will be in there. I will connect my PC via ethernet of course. Unfortunately the router will be near a side wall rather than central in the house. However, as long as I can get around 150-250mbps to the upstairs rooms as I do now with the Virgin Media hub 5 it will be fine. I am not too worried about mesh capability.

I am happy to spend up to around £250, however any good value routers at lower prices would be very welcome too.

I have been looking at the ASUS RT-BE92U as a starting point. I might be really off the mark with this as I am no router expert.

Thank you

Swearing is not allowed here.

I thought they made good routers?

I will look at the Ubiquiti options too. I recall looking at the Dream Machine a few years back.

They're a company who don't care about customers, shown by their historic ignorance of security issues and more recent RMA issues.

I had not heard about this. Thanks for the heads up.
