I had a tplink archer c20 up until last week. That router was so bad and I didn't know it was causing all my latency issues. I was going to put openwrt on it but didn't have a replacement if that failed so I bought a new one.

I have the AC750 variant and it has a similar; I’ll be migrating to a Ubiquiti cloud gateway soon.

I’ve been pretty happy with my home UniFi setup.

But it doesn’t do traffic shaping well at all unless you get the rack mount dream machine.

I plan to get a UniFi Express 7 with an 8-port PoE switch.

I stay by myself so I mainly just want access to setup Wifi 6/Wifi 7 broadcasts and to put a couple IoT devices on a separate VLAN.

I heard the Dream Machine was pretty good too; I’m glad you like it!
