I need some help deciding on a replacement to a pair of ASUS ET8 routers that I currently use. I have not been happy with this product. Here are my needs:
- Dual WAN with automatic failover and automatic fallback (TMobile primary and Starlink secondary)
- 2.4 / 5 gHz on the same SSID.
- A separate SSID for home IoT devices that I can limit to 2.4 gHz only.
- A separate SSID for a guest network (not a deal breaker).
- Would prefer QOS features similar to Asus Adaptive QOS to ensure work-from-home gets priority.
- Mesh capability with wired backhaul. I need to cover 4600 sq ft on two levels.
I live in a rural area so my band requirements aren’t complex. I don’t have a lot of interference from neighbors. I’m not opposed to trying ASUS is a different product has proven to be significantly more reliable than the ET8.
