I have been using a TP-Link archer AX55 pro for over two years, never had any problems,
Note: i heard that the brand was not really popular around here so please hold your downvotes.😂
Unless you buy router with 2.5gbps Ethernet port you won’t be even able to use that 2500mbps connection
To my memory the lowest model with 2.5gbps port is AX55 pro, non-pro version has standard 1gigEthernet
You should consider buying AX55 pro now so you can use faster internet connection later, AX55 is also good router in general (I had AX55 non-pro before moving to deco mesh)
You can also consider going a step further and check BE-something routers, that are wifi7 capable (have band aggregation even if some of them don’t have 6GHz radio), this will also future-proof you for a few years
I had good experience with AX55 (wifi6), AXE75 (wifi6e) and AXE95 (wifi6e with 2.5G port).
AXE95 does provide 2.5g port, but just 1.
If your ISP is <= 1G, you can probably use 1G port as WAN and connect 2.5G switch to 2.5G port for 2.5G internal network.
My 1000 sqft apartment did fine with a single AX55, was more thanenough.
Even recently moving to 3000 sqft SFH, AX55 at dead center of the house covered entire house.
Using a TP-Link Archer BE550 (Wi-Fi 7) on SLT Fibre. Zero drops.
Honestly, skip Dialog/Mobitel 4G entirely if you want real stability. Just get SLT Fibre, disable their crappy stock Wi-Fi, and plug in your own router.
If the BE550 is overkill/too pricey, grab a TP-Link AX53 or **AX55** for Rs.\~20k. 100% worth buying a dedicated router.
Don’t purchase anything less than Wi-Fi 6, because it has beamforming and other really great technologies. So, range won’t be your problem on the 5 GHz band. Also, no matter what router you’ve got, switching to Wi-Fi 6 will definitely give you a huge improvement in stability.
And don’t buy anything from Huawei especially those secondhand ONTs they are unstable instead, buy a cheap ONU if you have fiber you’ll find them for like 2k 3k, and connect it with an ASUS or TP Link. These are the only two companies I would recommend, or maybe Netgear.
I’ll just give you some models you should look for in your range: **ASUS AX58u, NETGEAR RAX36s and TP LINK AX55 (you'll only find the TP-Link brand new)**
That’s all you need.
