So I'm debating between the Microtik 1100AHX2 and the EdgeRouter 8 ER-8, they both seem roughly the same price.
I'm mainly upgrading because I have a crappy old Buffalo wifi router with wifi turned off doing my routing, and I want more features, some hobby stuff, and something that will route 1Gbps WAN in the nearish future.
I am planning on buying a new Unifi AC access point in the near future, and have a decent Ethernet switch already.
Any major advantages to one or the other in a typical advanced home usage scenario? I'm leaning towards the EdgeRouter because it seems it might have better throughput.
Or maybe there's a better option in the ~$300 or less range?
Thanks!
