which router should I get in 2026; ax2 or ac3?
I have around $100 to spend on it, I have knowledge required to set it up (school exam, more on it later). I don't need much - 1 gigabit LAN, basic VLANs, QoS, good Wi-Fi (the house is small, one floor); maybe WireGuard, but that's a new thing to me. I thought about hAP ac^2, but 16MB Flash is too small. I don't need containers (I own raspberry pi's, so if anything comes up I can do it on them).
About that school exam - it will be on Router OS 6, with the old GUI (web). Is older WinBox connected to the new Router OS similar enough? Of course I will practice in school, but I would like to have something at least similar in home.
I appreciate any answer, I'm asking because there's no good source regarding this topic - every information contradicts, and LLMs are LLMs - I prefer to check the answer.
