• recommendations for wifi router

    I recently got stuck with an EERO 6E Plus wireless router as part of
    my migration to metronet (fiber internet).

    The device throws 3 bands of wifi into one SSID, and creates havoc for
    trying to use wireless devices.

    So I'm interested in purchasing a good wifi router that has 2-3 bands, that
    can all be setup with their own SSID. To avoid issues with 2.4G devices not being able to be setup, due to conflicts with 2.4/5G devices talking to same SSID.

    Currently, I have like 6 blink cameras, and 4 wifi light bulbs I cannot
    use because of this situtation.

    I've found TP-Link AXE5400 Tri-Band WiFi 6E Router ARCHER AXE75 on amazon,
    and looks nice. The manual clearly shows that each band has it's own
    SSID. The guest network can even be set up with 1/2/3 bands, and those can
    have separate SSID from the non-guest network.

    Current price is $179, but going to wait until midnight to see if it
    goes lower durin prime days. But I'm open to other suggestions in this
    price range and available on amazon, so I can get it in a few days.

    Why don't you just turn off the wifi on the router, and get a separate wireless AP like a TP-LINK AC1200 one, you can do a lot more with the wireless AP than you could with a router with built in wifi I'm sure.

    I've never used the wifi on ISP routers, they're never nearly as good, plus if you have a separate one, then whenever you switch ISP's your wifi will just keep working =)
