So I need a diff router. Is this Asus AX3000 a worthy replacement?
On my Amazon I had an Asus AX1800S in my Potential Routers Wishlist. I know that one was extremely barebones, hoping this AX3000 model is sufficiently better.
Any advice or what to aim for?
(I'm also not keen on OpenWRT or Tomato, Asus seems to have a reliable interface I like, so thats a plus. I'm okay with other manufacturers interfaces, but for ex: TP-Link skipped Mac Filtering entirely, so fk that brand.)
Special Feature
4096-QAM high data rate 20/40/80/160 MHz bandwidth, AiMesh Extendable Router, Dual Band WiFi 6, Memory: 128 MB Flash, 256 MB RAM, Operating Frequency: 2.4GHz / 5GHz, Operating mode:Wireless router mode, Access point mode, AiMesh Node Mode, Repeater Mode, Parental Control, VPN4096-QAM high data rate
My network-fu is rusty, but wasn't 4096 QAM available on Wi-Fi 7 only?
Not sure if the link will work but the S seems to be missing the USB port, has a slower dual core processor and half the Ram/Flash storage so same high level specs but when you dig down definitely the budget version.

@deakwidit I definitely wouldn't care about Mac Filtering and you probably shouldn't. It doesn't really provide anything useful and just adds a bunch of manual work. It's not hard to spoof a MAC address and some devices will automatically change their MAC periodically unless you change their settings (eg iPhones) to prevent tracking by MAC address as you move around on public WiFi devices.
