Router with multiple SSID and VPN

Finally got BT Fibre 900 installed but the Smart Hub 2 Wi-Fi is crap. Can you recommend me a new (perhaps mesh?) router that’s Wi-Fi 6 capable but allows me to create multiple separate SSID’s for different VLAN’S.

The Asus ROG GT-AX11000 allows you to connect to 4 VPN servers and assign servers per WIFI clients. It also supports WIFI 6 and has a mesh system. Have a look at the following link for VPN features:

Sorry I made a typo. I meant VLAN’s Not VPN’s. Thanks for the recommendation, will look at the spec list.

Sorry - just saw the WiFi6 requirement.

Wonder if a Unify Dream Machine, PoE switch and some Wi-fi 6 AP would be appropriate?

The UniFi WiFi6 APs won't be available until at least March next year. So I don't see as a solution at the moment it to be honest.

There is a new Mikrotik Chateau LTE18 supposedly coming out with WiFi6 but again, it's not out yet and even when it does come out you can bet the WiFi won't be amazing for the first year until they fully debug the drivers.
