Comment on Ask HN: Which wireless router do you use at home?

Comments

Ubiquiti EdgeRouter X [1] with a Unifi AP Pro [2]

Extremely happy with the performance and quality. I don't know of any router for $180 that can rival this combination overall.

Same setup for me. Two things to look out for with the EdgeRouter X:

1, IPv6 is not trivial to setup. In my case I struggled to find documentation on configuring it on a PPoE connection.

2, It can't reach 1 GB/s on WAN.

+1 for this, I use it at home and I've never had any problems.

Runs arm Linux so I also have a VPN server running on it as well. Very convenient to not need a separate device for things like that.

+1 for this. I used to use tomato. I also use a pihole for network wide as blocking.

This is my stack as well. I haven't touched it in a year.

I use the same combo
