Nighthawk AX1800 WiFi 6 Router (RAX9)

If you just google "wifi 6 or 7" routers you get some good options. I bought a Netgear Nighthawk 1800 with Wifi a year ago.

I liked the Netgear Nighthawk 1800..I picked up 2 years ago. Rs 90 is a new model.

They both are likely good. I bought a Netgear Nighthawk ax 1800 with wifi 6 about 2 years ago. It has really fast download speed and very good range in the home. The speed is often faster than the speed that Spectrum says I should get. Both WiFi 6 and 7 have better security than older WiFi versions. 7 has similar security, but it supposedly offers better efficiency. I would lean to Netgear, but TP link has a good reputation too.

I bought Netgear Nighthawk 1800 2 years ago. Is cheap now. This a slightly newer one. https://www.walmart.com/ip/216889862?sid=97cf1804-ce2c-4568-95d4-4043017bd761 Those TP link models seem a good value too.

Definitely 👍. I use a Netgear Nighthawk with WiFi 6.

it's BS. I have an old WR1201 I bought for nothing 8 years ago or so, it's serving \~20 IoT devices through it's N radio. the AC radio's idling, we use it for guest wifi when needed, both wifis are completely cut off from the up stream LAN (it's a router behind router kind of setup) you don't need anything new, older might actually be better in your case. [https://toh.openwrt.org/](https://toh.openwrt.org/) make sure you pick something with > 8MB flash and > 64MB RAM.

\> new device openwrt dont have it and it will help the learning of OP, not mentioning faster UI if I read is correctly, OP's doing ESP32 development, not OpenWRT. pretty sure they won't mind sluggish LuCI, since it's not their main focus. OpenWRT for IoT will most likely be fire and forget.

[https://www.ebay.com/itm/306862131512](https://www.ebay.com/itm/306862131512). plenty of RAM, in par with AX1800 thoughput over wifi on AC (not that it matters for your use case). if you find the same device cheaper elsewhere, make sure it's the quad antenna version you buy. I had these running as APs for years, rock stable, uptime > 1 year.

Netgear nighthawk for 6. Using tplink easy mesh for 7 and been happy so far

I dont know about this model but fuck Netgeat Nighthawk. I owned a different one few years ago that was supposed to be a a high spec version, and it caused me infinite problems, which all disappeared when I bought a different one.
