Hi guys
map my router he finally kicked the bucket. I have a BT FTTC separate modem (literally just a modem) that feeds my router in the loft. The WiFi downstairs because of this is not brilliant but does the job. However I have Ethernet switches all around the house so I am thinking of replacing the router with a new separate router only and get a separate AP to chuck downstairs. However what “router only” should I buy? All I need is port forwarding, VPN ability (just to vpn home when on WiFi away)
Then a decent little WiFi ap to chuck into a network switch downstairs ideally giving a half decent wifi speed as Mrs moves large video files from laptop/camera to home server hard wired into the router. I have never had a separate setup before but one of my network switches is in the slap bang middle of the house.
ubiquiti?
thanks in advance for any ideas
