I have a Synology router and two base stations for it. This one - https://www.synology.com/en-global/products/RT2600ac is the router and those two as base stations: https://www.synology.com/en-au/products/MR2200ac. The router connected to the bases via ethernet cable, this ethernet cable almost hits a gigabit and wifi speed on my mac, inside the network, is about 800 megabits to the router.

The cost of the router and two stations was about the same as for router and one station of various hyped products.

It has got lots of smarts, VPN server, DNS server, highly configurable and you can opt in into Synology cloud with DDNS and connection to home network using their stuff. There’s security monitor, something akin to fail2ban, etc.

Additionally I have a Synology NAS that serves as a server using docker and as media station using Emby package. Additionally my old thinkpad laptop serves as a build agent for Drone CI primary that is running in docker on the NAS.

Everything else connects to internet and home network via WiFi, 800 megabits seems plenty for everything I want to do.

I am not affiliated with Synology, just a happy user that finds that everything I need to work, simply works.
