OpenWrt enthusiast's choice; good value, but lacks 6GHz.

Running these analyses costs money. Buy through my links to help keep lights on! I may get a small commission.
Deployed the previous UDR to a friend, it has been going strong for the entire time. I can recommend Unifi products in general.
Unifi dream router 7. And stockholder. Covers my whole 1500sf house and backyard. Prior to that I had a fortigate and ubiquiti AP. Both were great but the ap lite had less range and the fortigate couldn't handle the ISP throughout. I would recommend the dream router 100%. I have a seperate motorola modem.
I have the UniFi Cloud Gateway Ultra and I bought the UDR7 for my parents. Amazing hardware and software. Nothing else has ever come close.
My parents have the UDR7 and for them it was pretty much fire and forget. They used to have constant problems with their old routers, one after another. But the Ubiquiti gear is just rock solid. For sure, if you want to tinker, it's also good for that.
I bought a Ubiquiti UDR7 Dream Router and couldn't be happier. It's a bit more complex than your average router but it's damn powerful and my connection has never been better.
i bought a unifi dream router mainly because of its looks. big plus is i could add their Access points later on
Unifi dream router 7.. cheap, fast, reliable. Edit: 3D printed R2D2 feet are a thing
