I'm currently updating a fairly complex / device-rich network at our house. When we moved into a new house, I had to quickly deploy 4 Google WiFi points just to setup an inexpensive network with WiFi, having full coverage. The new setup will be mostly hard wired, with POE runs to 2-3 areas for WiFi coverage.
Hard wired to modem is just below gigabit speeds via the ISP, so I'd like to keep the wired network as close to that as possible.
So now I need a router / firewall / gateway, as well as 2 or 3 POE WiFi access points to provide coverage, and with only 1 device running, being able to pass that gigabit speed through to the router.
I've looked around, it seems like Cisco has a few cloud solutions, Zyxel listed a handful of routers but they weren't true gigabit when the firewall was enabled. Kind of pointless to lose that much bandwidth...
Any suggestions? The more management options/information, the better... Ideally, I'd like to keep it under $1k.
