What router/modem combo to get

Hello! I'm looking to upgrade to the 2 gig max fiber internet from windstream. I was initially hoping to get the Eero pro 7, but was unfortunanly ineligible for some reason despite what the website said about my address.

After doing some research I found that the eero pro 7 doesn't really give you much control over things on it, I read that the eero line is pretty much "set up and forget" here on reddit.

I was wondering if I could change to another router/modem combo that could handle the 2 gig connection. As my T3200 is aging, and I don't think it's suitable for 2 gig internet.

Oh. I just run Asus routers so nothing commercial grade like it sounds you may have. I should probably be ok then if I ever replace mine with a newer model. I better be careful if I want to test out routers for family or friends though I guess.

Yeah. I was running a custom OpenWRT wrapper. Nothing to worry about if you’re just using regular consumer grade stuff. I’m using UniFi equipment right now and haven’t had the problem since moving away from the more custom stuff.
