tldr – want wifi router with;
decent parental controls
wifi radio off with scheduling ability
possibility to use a VPN to watch georestricted services across all devices?
signal power reduction option
low power consumption
Just upgraded our home internet to gigabit. partly as the isp’s old router on the 300mbps plan was no longer activating device schedules (e.g. no internet to main tv before 8.30am) and the new package was cheaper.
Anyway, the new AX/wifi6 router will let me set up device schedules and profiles with the ability to pause wifi to certain profiles, but I cant turn the wifi radio off overnight.
wifi devices wise we only have 3 mobile phones and occasionally a laptop that we connect to wireless. not wif6 but presumably the next phones that are overdue will be.
All other devices are wired ethernet. smart tv, roku, ps5, nintendo switch, desktop PC and a couple of extra RJ45 sockets for kids laptop etc. May also add an ip security camera too.
We don’t have terrestrial TV, we stream through our wired tv/roku devices, netflix, amazon prime video, redbull tv, FilmON, disney etc
This ISP provided hardware has bridge mode option in the user interface.
Small house (120sqm) so don’t want or need any big range device. Lower power consumption would be great.
Any suggestions?
thanks
