So I got an old RT-AC56U (running Merlin) and is looking to replace it.
I am not that into the router market so unsure what to look for to be honest, but I want something similar.
As long as it has basic Wifi and 4 gbit ports that's good enough I believe.
For VPN Wireguard would be nice to have as an option.
I should be able to handle 1gbit fiber (I got 500mbit atm), RT-AC56U can handle it with "NAT Acceleration" enabled.
I don't care much for QoS as I never use it.
And future proof in the sense of it being supported and also supports stuff like WPA3,
Wifi6 should be quite future proof as it's quite new and a big jump (in release date) from Wi-Fi 5 (2013->2021).
Prefer if it supports custom firmwares, like MerlinWrt, OpenWrt etc (with good support, read that sometimes they can be buggy with some hardware).
Might be missing something but I think that's it.
When trying to find something myself I ended with:
Asus RT-AX5400
and
Asus TUF Gaming AX3000 V2
Not sure if they are overkill or not though.
Sorry for the vague requirements.
Thanks!
