Expensive, but I use an asus GT-AXE 16000 and an AX-11000 in a mesh to cover my house with over 100 smarthome devices. The routers are top end, with features galore. They auto-switch devices to the most performant connection they can support. The 16000 has a 2.5Gbe WAN port, and 2 10Gbe ports, so it's future facing. It supports wifi 6/6e and my phone speed tests at over 1000MB/sec on it.

Expensive but I use an Asus acx-16000 which has a 2.5Gbe wan port (which I get 1.4Gbe bidirectional fiber) and 2 10Gbe ports. Wifi gets 1000MB/sec to my phone and it has every and any feature you can think of.

If you get one I'd recommend Merlin's bios too.

Also their AI mesh is good too. Well worth every penny. Handles 100 smarthome devices and runs at full bandwidth no problem.

Check out the Asus router emulator to see what it can do. It's going to make your nighthawk look like a joke by way of comparison.

I use an asus GT-AXE16000 which has a 2.5 GBe WAN port, and supports 2 10GBe ports, wired to my computer with a 10GBe adapter. I have 1.4GBe bidirectional fiber, and get the full bandwidth to my machines that connect 10GBe.

It's wifi support is unbelievable. I use a AI mesh with it, and it covers the house, the yard (wifi sprinkler in the garage, and wifi pool and hot tub) and every smart device (around 100 total). Supports wifi 6, my phone transfers 1000MB/sec both ways over wifi.

Complete features, including an AI firewall that's stellar. Expensive, but very worth it.

Use this on your phone for photos. It encrypts them, hides them behind a 'audio management panel', or 'calculator', or other fake app which you long press on the title or some such, enter a pin, and it lets you into the photos, videos, apps and things you want hidden.

Look into cyber power ups. I have 3, one for each array, and one for my PC.

I don't need 3, I bought one used it until the battery needed replacement, bought a second to have one for each array. Then changed my mind and wanted to return the 2nd one for a rack mounted one. Contacted Amazon, the second one I bought wasn't returnable, so they refunded it and let me keep it and sent me the rack mounted one instead.

They have a very long runtime and work great with the NAS arrays. Their USB cable tells the array to shut down.

They condition power too and level out surges and dropouts. They come with a crazy warranty covering the UPS itself and all the equipment connected to them, and are in the neighborhood of $200-300.

I use an Asus acx-16000 which has a 2.5Gbe wan port with a 10gbe internal network and get the full 1.4Gbe of my bidirectional fiber.
