Mikrotik vs TP-Link vs UCG for home network
I am looking to replace my Edgerouter 6p router that died. It was a good router and was rock solid.
My topology is cable modem -> router -> POE switch (unmanaged netgear) -> 6 POE Cameras, 5 TVs, 1 computer, 3 APS, 1 AP controller (TP Link APs).
My internet is 500Mbps, I MAY go up to 1G in the next few years.
Essentially, I am looking for a rock solid router that I will be able to set up and essentially forget is there. I have a background in computing, but to be blunt I have a family and I'd rather spend time with them than configuring/playing around with a router.
I won't be doing any "special" configurations or actions. I just want a router that I can basically set up and forget about.
The routers I am considering are:
- E60iUGS [https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0FHSQXTVK/ref=ox_sc_act_title_2?smid=A1DZ2KWUETHME0&psc=1]
- TP Link ER707-M2 [https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0C238XMVV/ref=ox_sc_act_title_5?smid=AJ8LMC6YR4HCZ&psc=1]
- UCG Ultra Cloud Gateway (Ultra) [https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0DK5ZMPMM/ref=ox_sc_act_title_1?smid=A1A9LDS9MN61P9&th=1]
- I am open to other recommendations.
My primary question is if the Mikrotik RouterOS is going to be a PITA for me to initially configure and maintain. I dont mind spending a few hours during set up, but I don't want to routinely spend hours on. I've been reading great things about router, but as I said I'd rather not get myself in over my head for what I essentially want to be a basic router.
