Hello
I recently learned that my ISP allows me to buy my own router and they will turn of the router in their box to allow me to connect one. I live in a fairly large house in two floors and i have not been happy with the Wifi coverage, from the ISP router. i have a 500/500 line into the house and i have a cat 6 into every room (computer&Tvs), so only thing that's running on Wifi is actually mobiles and tablets.
But i have a Nord VPN account and i would love it if i can use it directly on the router instead of running clients on my units. I have also some interest in adopting AX but, the more i read on this forum the less i feel its a good idea at this point. I have a low tolerance for dropouts, so i would like a stable router.
I am bit partial to Asus, but i am wondering which one i should pick up ? AC5300 or AX11000 vs RT-AC86U or RT-AX88U. I think i will have to use the mesh function to get the cellar wifi up and running but i dont know enough about that to choose. cellar is about 600 square feet and the house about 1500 square feet.
