Router rec for small business and home

That router is fine for both locations. It doesn't sound like your clinic needs the advanced features of a business class router. And if your clinic router fails, you'll have a backup at home. If WiFi coverage isn't great you can buy the AiMesh compatible mesh nodes.

For business I would do something that is not a consumer product. You should be looking at a business class firewall like a SonicWall, Fortinet, Watch guard, etc. They have smarts that can filter out bad stuff like Russians trying to hack your practice and steal your customer data. Or just get Cyber insurance for when it happens.

We ended up going with the watchguard and a ubiquiti access point at the clinic.

IT guy is trying to sell me on something similar for my house. Says residential stuff sucks especially when you start getting a lot of devices.

What would I need coming out of the att gateway? I’m not super tech savvy but not lost either.

I’m assuming I need some sort of router to attach to att gateway and then an access point to hook to the router?

i struggled to 'love' my ASUS aimesh system for probably the last 5 years and tossed it in the garbage this summer for eero.

eero has some issues but overall the router & 2 satellites have provided full WiFi across my entire house which was never the case before. I was constantly flashing firmware and rebooting an non-functioning node.

pros
- stupid easy install & ux
- wifi6
- much better WiFi coverage in my house than ASUS with the satellites in pretty much the same places
- notifications when new devices connect and easy to rename/categorize them so you can keep up with the 100+ thingies on the network.

cons
- no ethernet backhaul - wireless satellites only
- can't plug in my free DDNS service i've used for the last 15 years. you have to pay for the eero one
- confusing when setting up 2.4ghz devices since there's no option to change networks. (pro tip: there's a feature under troubleshooting that disables the 5ghz network for 10 minutes so you can set up 2.4 devices)
- overly simple UX lacks all the configuration options of something like ASUS but so far i haven't run into anything i cant do
- they put 'subscription' options in the UX to try & upsell you on stuff
- occasionally 'loses' WiFi devices but inexplicably come back an hour later. this wouldn't be as big of a concern if it wasnt the dang RING camera that drops out. get your shite together amazon.

Lol you lost me bro. I’m sure he’s installing a new watchguard I’m not sure which model tho. Let me draw a diagram of what I’ve got and maybe you can dumb it down for me pardon my beautiful artwork.

This is my current setup:


This is what I’m thinking I need?!?

Yeah, your 2nd image is what I do with a lot of extra stuff after due to the amount of server/devices/subnets I have.

You can get a real cheap 24 port (poe if needed) switch and connect to the firebox. Not sure how many devices you need. Get an unmanaged switch if you just need a simple network with no vlans.

Mesh isn't a bad choice. I personally don't do it and have heard of headaches with different devices from friends, but cannot speak on it as I have never implemented it myself.
