Which modem/router to choose ?

I am a small UK hotel business (7 guest bedrooms)

Each of the guest bedrooms has a SMART TV, hardwired Cat5e cable to it from a Netgear Switch

Also PoE Netgear WAPs around the house

 

My ISP is BT, and the modem/router they provide has the DNS Server hard-coded

It also doesn't seem to be a particularly 'fast' router either

 

The main uses for our broadband, are :

Streaming films in the guest bedrooms to the SMART TVs

Guest use of WiFi throughout the hotel to their smart phones and tablets

WiFi printing

Internet surfing/email

 

Anyway, I'd like to replace the proprietary BT modem/router with a Netgear one, and then I am totally Netgear! 🙂

It should be fast, have VPN capabilities, preferrably a built-in firewall, be DSN Server configurable, preferrably wall mountable and obviously be capable of supporting all the above mentioned hardware

 

Any product recommendations please - and not to break the bank!

Thank you

Hello Mikeystevey 

 

I would say the D7800 or the D7000 would be the best bet for the things that you are wanting.
