Looking to upgrade ISP's router (BT Smart Hub) with 802.11ax router

[Elliot B.]

We have a BT Smart Hub (sometimes called the Home Hub 6), which was released in 2016.

 

The BT Smart Hub Wikipedia article tells me the modem is "VDSL2".

 

I am looking to replace it with something more capable and future-proof.

 

I don't want to pay over £100.

 

I believe these are my options:

 

• £60 Huawei WiFi AX3 (AX3000)
• £70 TP-Link Archer AX10 (AX1500)
• £70 D-Link DIR-X1560 (AX1500)
• £95 Asus RT-AX55 (AX1800)
• £95 Asus RT-AX56U (AX1800)
• £100 TP-Link Archer AX20 (AX1800)

 

Does anyone have any thoughts?

Personally I got the TP-Link Archer AX10 on offer for the equivalent of £40 and very happy with its performance and features.

If I had a budget like yours I'd go for the Asus RT-AX56U. But TBH apart from the Huawei option, you cannot go wrong with any from your list.
