#AskFedi #AskFediverse Because of poor videoconference performance throughout the day at home, I'm looking to replace my Wi-Fi router. The last time I bought one was in 2012 and I went for an Apple Airport Extreme as I had no reason to doubt the Apple ecosystem at the time.

Right now the AirPort Extreme has been discontinued and there are a dizzying array of new Wi-Fi features I have to take in quickly. 6GHz, Mesh, Wi-Fi 6E, Wi-Fi 7? I just want to ensure a strong signal throughout a Brooklyn apartment and maybe have a PiHole somewhere in between the Internet and my home network. Do you have any pointers?

PCMag tells me the TP-Link Archer AXE75 could cheaply fit the bill, anything I should be on the lookout for regarding budget models?

Pressed by time constraints, I eventually went for the more modest TP Link AX1500. Fewer bells and whistles that I probably didn't need. I can always upgrade later to a tri-band router if needed.
