My trusty old Asus RT-N13U wireless router (running in AP mode) is starting to show its age and hiccup often and I want to replace it with one that will support AC. Those of us that run Sophos UTMs at home are in a unique position in that we don't need robust firewall/routing/filtering in our wireless routers as the UTM can perform all those tasks. I don't need the Sophos APs for home and don't want to spend a lot on a fancy wireless router whose features I won't even use (since as I mentioned, my UTM does my routing, DHCP, firewall, filtering, etc...) Searching for access points, I find that they seem to cost as much (or more) as high-end wireless routers (maybe because they are targeted at enterprise instead of home users?).
Can some of you recommend a good stable budget-friendly AC capable consumer router/AP that works well with the Sophos UTM as a simple access point? I am a network professional, so dumping stock firmware and installing open source (tomato, DD-WRT) if need be doesn't scare me.
Thanks in advance.
