With our house from the sixties, a wired backbone is not an option. That is why I opted for a strong router in the middle of the house. With Wi-Fi 7 I can use the latest technology. Most routers with 6GHz are not as strong as this one on 5GHz. Because it will take a while before 6GHz is the standard, I opted for a lot of speed on the 5GHz band and to leave out 6GHz. This is not only fast, but also has 8 LAN ports. The software is very extensive, but still simple. All in all a great product.

At the moment I have Business Internet Pro, where I had a lot of problems with video calling with Microsoft Teams due to my previous router. I wanted to rule out that it was due to an outdated router and also wanted to be ready for the fiber optic connections. After unpacking the router, I spent some time trying to get it working through the various options. But after that, this router is a breath of fresh air in terms of speed, range and possibilities. After installation, I no longer had any problems with problems.
In addition, this router also offers WAN Aggregation so that you can go from your modem (bridge) to your router with two cables. This gives you a better load. A DUAL WAN is also possible. This is fairly easy to set up.
In addition, you can also set up a VPN server to give others access to your network. So that you do not have to open your ports.
When is this router suitable for you if you:

Web interface full of bugs and very laggy. If you want to be more advanced it becomes even worse. I figured it out because I have a tech background. I you want a plug and play gaming router I would say there better ones out there for that price.
