Our Internet at our office here has become increasingly unstable, and I'm reasonably sure it's because we have too many devices connecting to our little TP-Link router (TL-WDR3600, fact fans) and it's struggling. Can anyone recommend a decent router for a small(ish?) office, with the following features? - must either have a fibre modem built in, or be capable of accepting a connection from a BTopenreach fibre modem - must support NAT - must support WiFi, 2.4GHz and 5GHz, ideally also with guest network capability - VPN capability would be nice, if that means we could VPN into our network without running a VPN Server anywhere - be capable of supporting our device needs, which are: a) VoIP system and it's traffic b) at least 30 devices, connected either via WiFi or Ethernet (we already have a decent PoE switch for Ethernet traffic) |

Draytek. Draytek for days. They're bomb-proof. |

How big is your office, though? |

As in, physically? Not that big - about 15m x 15m, one floor. |

Oh right, so you don't need a mesh network or anything. We had a Draytek wireless router at my old place and it was fantastic. I can find the model for you if you'd like but that was five or so years ago so there are probably new ones. Note - they're not cheap. |

Cheers, will have a look. Done cheap before, but even an expensive router is probably not as expensive as having our office out of action for ten minutes every hour! |

Four aerials, must be good. |

I have an earlier version of that, but it only has 3 aerials, I didn't realise I was so out of date. |

I'm just disappointed that it doesn't also include a lubricating strip. |
