WiFi router recommendations.

[Bob Elzer]

I have a similar setup, modem->linux/firewall/dhcp -> internal
switch->wireless router

I have a TPLink Archer C2600 dual band router that works really well.

remember iot will only use 2.4ghz for now. My phone's do 5.0ghz

I got it on sale for $85

I just ran a cable from one of the wired ports to the switch and it just
worked
