I recently switched from my ISP's combo device to a GL-inet Flint 2 (https://www.gl-inet.com/products/gl-mt6000/); no complaints with it thus far, and I've enjoyed some of the quality of life features it's got built into it.

I'm admittedly not much of a networking expert, but you might be able to improve your existing network by running Ethernet backhaul for your mesh network (assuming your access points support it).

Regarding whether you would benefit from a router like that: I've only got a 25Mbps connection, so my main use case for it is using ZeroTier to access various services on my local network, more advanced firewall controls, and the dual 2.5G Ethernet ports for connection between my main PC and home server.

Fedora Server, with most of the services I need running via Docker.

Victory! Ring Announces It Will No Longer Facilitate Police Requests for Footage from Users (www.eff.org)

This is a victory in a long fight, not just against blanket police surveillance, but also against a culture in which private, for-profit companies build special tools to allow law enforcement to more easily access companies’ users and their data—all of which ultimately undermine their customers’ trust.

Still skeptical here as well, but it's at least a step in the right direction. I still do not plan to have any Ring products anywhere near my place anytime soon.
