Router suggestions for home use

[jason_walker_6z]

Hey everyone. I know this has been asked in the past, but I'm curious if there is any new advice out there for selecting a router to work with the Ruckus Unleashed R510. I purchased a new home and this system was part of the build, so that's great... but the tech that set it up said I'd still need to use my previous router (Netgear Orbi) for NAT. What I don't like is using these mesh routers and having a separate wireless signal that I'm essentially not going to be using since I'll connect everything to the Ruckus wifi.

I'm looking for a wired router that I can connect to my cable modem that will provide NAT for the Ruckus. Any suggestions? I'm looking for something that is fast, but doesn't need to be overkill... looking at TP-Link or Ubiquiti options on Amazon.

Any help would be greatly appreciated. It seems pointless to use a $300 mesh router system only to disable the radio.

I am using a Mikrotik router (RB3011) with R500 x2 in unleashed mode. Happy with router wap combo

Jason, what I did was log into my Netgear wireless router and disabled the WiFi on the router.  That way the Access Points provide the wireless means to your network and your Netgear wireless router pretty much acts as a wired router (with its wifi array disabled).
