When looking at a router, think of it like a shopping list, What does it need to do:

• Gaming
• Parental Controls (Internet access time restriction/content filtering)
• IPTV
• Combined Modem/Router or two separate devices
• Any VPN requirements
• Strong Wifi (Maybe wifi Mesh) if large house
• Special requirements from ISP
• Future proofing (IPv6 – Firmware updates – WiFi 6 (802.11ax))
• Budget ;-)

Etc etc.

• yes with my soon we playing online
• not necessary however I like option in rt-ac68u where you can block access to internet for individual devices
• doesn’t really matter as long it got strong wi-fi
• no special vpn requirements
• strong wifi, preferable without mesh, on rt-ac68u 2.4 is very strong in my house 5g slightly weaker dsl-ac88u has stronger 5g (maybe it just a matter of tweaking?)
• no special requirements from ISP (EE) as long it works for me
• I’m happy with spending between 200-250GBP on decent equipment.
