So after years of living with max 4Mbps down \ 0.5Mbps up internet, my neighborhood is in the process of getting upgraded to 1G fiber, (Supp 1G down max \ but "only 100Mbps up forsome reason?).
My current Wifi router is an old Asus rt-N65U (and also using the Centurylink router wifi and a TP-link ap in the garage wired to the CLink).
With no hope of faster speeds until now I've had no reason to look for something else but now with the promise of 1G I think I should. I've been reading a lot about all the new Wi-fi 6 routers coming out...but they are not cheap. Is it worth the investment though to get the max potential out of my promised 1G or is it overkill? What about all this "mesh" stuff out there now? (I have a 2 story walk-out atrium of approx 5k sqft.)
I don't use VPN for my BI yet but want to finally set this up going forward after the 1G upgrade if that is a consideration.
Any thoughts or recommendations would be appreciated.
