What you need, a cool purchase, I advise you.

Model RB951Ui-2HnD
If the provider has an automatic IP, then the setup does not cause any problems through quickstart.
I liked the Wi-Fi channel load analyzer.
Excellent logging.
For sys. admin setting up the router will not be a problem and will open quite a few interesting features, such as a server file or (!) Backup Internet via a 3G modem (there is only one USB port)

I can’t recommend it because of the limited protocols (you never know what device you want to buy, my smart home didn’t want to work using the N protocol) and the low performance of the wireless network. (in a large family, there will definitely come a moment when everyone will be buried in devices and your laptop beech will require a good old wire)

Pros

Trouble-free operation for more than 3 years, professional device, good wireless network coverage (the main thing is to place it correctly). No stupid horns sticking out in all directions =)

Cons

Supports only N protocol. Traffic distribution works strangely, if you watch YouTube on one device via Wi-Fi, devouring most of the Internet channel, then it is no longer possible to watch a 1080p movie via Wi-Fi from a local network on a tablet. An external drive can be connected, but it will have to be reformatted because the Windows formats do not suit it.
