Upgrade Home Network

[stephan04]

Hi all , my current router is an Asus rt ac68u with no NAS nor failover. I use an unifi AP LR plugged into the asus as my main wifi, and use asus guest network for guests - however there is no way to turn off the main wifi network on asus to minimise wifi noise.

The latest unifi controller does not allow me to set wpsa2 encryption on the AP for the guest hotspot that is why I use the Asus as I do not want an un encrypted wifi network.

My requirements are:
Router with failover,
NAS to auto back up laptop and pc
Guest wifi with no internal network access wpsa2
Eventually OpenVPN for my cctv on Vlan


The Edge router just seems complicated with scripts for failover and then you would need a 4g router for the failover.

Can anyone advise a sensible solution with the hardware I have? Or best value solution?

Thanks

"Router with failover" Failover to what type of device/connection?

It will have to be LTE - so I would get a TP-Link lte router and disable wireless and plug that into the edge router?

There is no additional 'noise' by having the main wireless network 'on'. The radio is shared by the main and guest networks. If you make an SSID + password that nobody connects to on the main wireless, it isn't affecting anything.

do not setup the same wi-fi channels - no noise then
