Hi all, I’m looking to upgrade my router from the default one that came from my ISP.

I don’t need anything super fancy, just something with 4+ lan ports (1gbps is ok, 2.5gbps would be nicer), 1 WAN Port, Wifi-6 (802.11ax), and the ability to have an isolated IoT network (using a vlan for this would be nice).

Any suggestions? I’d like to keep the price down if possible. This is just for my home network.

    I had very similar wishes, but settled on a Velica (GL-B2200). It comes with OpenWRT out of the box, and can be flashed to the newest version. It has great WiFi coverage, which is nicer than top speed imho. Downside is only 1 wan and 1 lan, but with a VLAN and a separate switch it might be ok for you.

      FYI the glinet routers come with a version of openwrt that contains unknown closed-source components. That said they have nicer, easier to use interface that has no learning curve. So less of a project than many of the other options discussed here. It’ll work out of the box.
