Hi, I'm looking for a new router and open to suggestions, I have my brsk ont connected currently to one wan port, and my pc is hard wired too, I would like one that has 2 x 2.5 or more wan / Lan ports, about 30 WiFi devices connected too.

It looks pretty horrible to from an aesthetics perspective.

Have you looked at the TUF AX6000? 2 x 2.5g ports, slightly lower hardware specs but can be had for around £170

I think it looks nice lol, but it will be wall mounted in the middle of the house.

I was really taken with the Rangeboost Plus feature - 38% improvement…

Expanded Coverage with RangeBoost Plus
ASUS RangeBoost Plus is the latest, most powerful version of our renowned RangeBoost technology, which can improve the coverage and WiFi performance significantly compare to other models without RangeBoost. By using a next-gen flagship Broadcom WiFi chipset and CPU, combined with ASUS RF technology and other exclusive ASUS technologies, RangeBoost Plus leverages multiple upgraded ASUS features that improve WiFi signal range and overall coverage by up to 38%*.
*Disclaimer: Measured using WiFi 6 client connected at 200 Mbps to WiFi 6 router with RangeBoost Plus, compared to same WiFi 6 client connected at 200 Mbps to WiFi 5 router without RangeBoost Plus.

Wow. They literally compared two different things at a limited speed to generate a statistic. Classy.

Wouldn’t expect anything less from Asus.

Are you future proofing? As brsk only supply 1Gb connection. Unless your home network is all 2.5gbe inc switches etc

Yes future proofing, I dont think BRSK and like will be far behind VM as they are about to release 2gb speeds, BRSK are fibre all the way into the house, so it shouldnt really be a difficult upgrade for them, whereas VM are copper from the drain / exchange.
