What is a good and reliable Wi-Fi 6 router that can cover mostly open 3000 sq.ft from a central placement and do all or most of the following (ideally without a subscription)?

  • Content filtering
  • Specific website blocking
  • Multiple VLANs and SSIDs
  • Sophisticated Wi-Fi schedule (different schedules for different days of the week)
  • Custom DNS servers for the WAN connection
  • Support for 1G WAN speeds
  • Device policies
  • Support for two ISPs (optional)
  • Decent looks (ideally, not the black spider look with multiple antennas)
  • Macaroon-Upstairs@alien.topB

    You would be best and most simply served by two devices.

    Order a Firewalla Gold (or gold plus) and then any WiFi router or mesh system that you want, set it to bridge mode. Eero hides a lot of their stuff behind a $9.99 subscription, but the Firewalla does it better anyway.

    You did not mention budget, so if money is no object I’d grab a 2 pack Eero 7 Max or a three pack Eero Pro 6. I would not recommend the 6E or 6+, check the reviews.

    You will be set for years.
