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!
I went with this one in the end.
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I have an earlier version of that, but it only has 3 aerials, I didn't realise I was so out of date.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.

I'll give you antennae for it.
