Need equipment recommendation

I was running Luxul APs and a Luxul router.

I had 3 failed APs in 2 years and wasn’t really happy with them anymore so I switched to Insight WAX615 APs (I have 4) and a GS305EPP switch. I didn’t need the switch with Luxul as the APs worked with my router.

I am now growing tired of my Luxul router. I really like the Insight interface so I would like a router that uses the same interface.

I also don’t need/want WiFi built into the router. The router sits in one end of the basement, thus the APs. I will still use the 4 port switch so I only need 4 ports on the router, if that is a factor. I am looking to spend about $200ish.

What do you recommend?

    All Netgear routers come with wifi.

     

    What is the modem/ONT/gateway that delivers the Internet to your network?

    Try plugging your needs into the filters on the product pages:

     

    Wireless Routers for Home | NETGEAR

     

    Then check back here for reports on the things you are considering, but remember that people turn up in this community with problems, not compliments. So look at reviews on Amazon, for example.

     

    For $200, you might want to consider second hand or refurbished hardware.

      While a little bit over the 200 USD budget, and considering we're in the Netgear Business section here, I have to disagree. Netgear had released the PR60X these weeks. It's readily available in many markets, does not come with built-in Wi-fi as mostly useless in a rack installation anyway. And yes, it's Insight manageable, too.
