I used to own an Asus NT66U that would restart unexpectedly, so I switched back to the standard modem/router your ISP provides. It functioned until recently when WiFi channels began dropping often. The 2.4GHz band is especially problematic since it's crucial for printing to my 3D printer and communication with my Victron Cerbo. I don’t have strict needs beyond dependable performance and enough bandwidth—1 gigabit isn’t necessary right now, but it’s possible in the future. My budget stays around £200-250, and I’m new to networking gear, so I’m hoping I can find a reasonable option. Thanks!

I've been using the TP-Link Archer AX10 for nearly a year without any issues. It costs only 60€ and handles everything I require—mainly spreading WiFi and LAN to around ten devices. Unless you need extra features, it’s not worth spending more on a new router.
