Performance aside, this has to be up there with rat droppings on the list of things I don't want to see dotted around my home.

Sorry but I have to disagree with the Recommended score. Most of it I like, but the single 2.5 port in a higher end router nowadays isn't good enough. I'm not after a bunch of 10Gbps ports or anything but at least pair of 2.5 ports is really the minimum when priced above $300.

Hy Hillber from what I so in the review on the charts there is only an old TP-Link router (and only AC), but TP-link has some nice and fast routers and mesh systems. Maybe in time you will add some to the charts. It looks like an ASUS monopoly 🙂.

I switched to Fiber 2Gbps Interwebs recently and while it definitely was a little frustrating shopping for a router due to the lack of multi 2.5Gb ports I think I found a decent solution. I picked up the "Asus ROG Rapture GT-AX6000" which has dual 2.5Gb ports and a TRENDnet 2.5G 5 port switch. Should be a big upgrade from my RT-AC1900P which will probably just be a hardwired Access Point in the garage for the rest of its days. $400 dent in the wallet but that seems to be the going rate for all these higher end routers these days, hell some of the Mesh Networks I have seen hit 1.2k for 3 modules. Anyway hopefully this solution works out as I really like the Asus Router UI.

Need more Led is not obnoxious enough(i sure there option to turn it off?) performance is there i guess, but the price just no

Aside of professional custom setups on OPNSense/pfSense etc, Keenetics are still best in terms of WiFi penetration and firmware.
Asus, though, has good single-click OpenVPN server. But not perfect, as lacks multi-factor auth. But it doesn't have multi-wan and multi-lan. Just failover dual-wan, where only one connection is working.
