Now I can't remember asking everyone about this but I wished to get some more input rather than my my own crazy ideas....
Currently I have a 950/200 fibre connection for my home internet and with the ISP router, its very locked down and I can't do anything with it at all. They've said I can go into bridged mode and use a replacement router (it wouldn't need to be a fibre based router, as it would just be an ethernet connected...) But my only real question would be, which one??
I'm trying to consider buying something that might be a little OTT but not so OTT I could program NASA or something with it..... I'm toying with the idea of getting something that will handle over 1Gbps speeds but I don't see many routers that do that. As I'd be using the current router for just a modem, I'd need to make sure I have a few LAN ports in the replacement/add-on (however you look at it! lol) so I could connect both of my switches - currently a 24 port HP ProCurve switch and a 8 port 10Gb TP Link switch... I'm looking to swap them both out for a 10Gb switch but sadly at the moment, I'm looking to grab the UniFi Switch Enterprise XG 24 to do just that as I can't see anything else around that would do 10Gb over 24 ports for home...
Could anyone suggest a good router for me?? Even WiFi strength doesn't need to be a real importance, I'd be quite happy and also tempted as well, to get a couple AP devices to help with the WiFi strength but most of my hardware is hard wired...
Many thanks in advance everyone!!
