I get asked this question now and again, which router should I buy, and it’s so confusing to the average non tech person. The state of home routers is terrible with updates and poor support. So I bought nearly £2000 worth of routers over 18 months and started trying to find out which were any good. The ones to avoid became this list/site. It’s got affiliate links for uk, but the choices are good for anywhere. If it helps someone make a better decision and avoid being hacked or spied on, then I will feel like it’s been worth it. :)
Did you keep all £2000 worth of routers? I wish I could have told you 18 months ago to avoid all those consumer routers and just get brands that are popular in business and IT settings such as Ubiquiti.
