Hey Everyone,

I am looking for some recommendations on routers for my home network. Currently, I have an Eero Pro (No Beacons) that was given to me from my ISP during installation. I have recently added a NETGEAR 8-Port Gigabit Ethernet Plus Switch (GS308E) and an Ubiquiti UAP-AC-LITE UniFi AP AC LITE to my network. With adding these devices to my network I need ideas for a router upgrade as the Eero Pro has limited settings and does not have the ability (at least what I have found) to turn off the WIFI. Which I would like to do since I have installed the WAP. Any and all recommendations would be greatly appreciated.

 

 

Features I would want: Vlans, QoS, Port labeling, SSH support, & IP reservation

Current Devices: EERO Pro (Wanna upgrade), NETGEAR 8-Port Gigabit Ethernet Plus Switch (GS308E), Ubiquiti UAP-AC-LITE UniFi AP AC LITE
