Hi all, I'm looking to upgrade my router from the default one that came from my ISP.

I don't need anything super fancy, just something with 4+ lan ports (1gbps is ok, 2.5gbps would be nicer), 1 WAN Port, Wifi-6 (802.11ax), and the ability to have an isolated IoT network (using a vlan for this would be nice).

Any suggestions? I'd like to keep the price down if possible. This is just for my home network.

I would actually suggest buying one of Netgate's prebuilt routers. They're pricey, but it brings the peace of mind knowing that device is handling it exclusively, and with appropriate hardware. It doesn't come with a Switch or AP though.
