If you're not scared of advanced network configuration, then @mikrotik.

Their devices are very good and they have a good OS which is continuously updated over years, so you won't find yourself with a router which OS is 5 years old.
But they mostly don't have "magic" features like "click this blue button to set up your entire network". Only simple "Quick Setup" and then mostly advanced configuration.

@skobkin @mikrotik I think I want to get away from the “advanced” configuration, but I do want to be able to manage a guest network with a different subnet, etc.

@ramsey @mikrotik
I see.

Then I'm not sure what to recommend because most of vendors with simple configuration I've tried just disappointed me later.

I hope you'll find one that works fine without being complex at the same time.

Don't forget to write about it then 😄

@skobkin @mikrotik I’m not opposed to advanced configurations, so, if your experience is that simpler configurations are disappointing, then I’m okay with the advanced recommendations. 🙂

I'm not sure that it's an only option, so I'm not going to recommend what I use to you.

I'm not very well informed in the state of the market. I'm sure something should be there which is exactly for you and won't require you reading tutorials or documentation to set up separate isolated WiFi network.

Although I thought earlier that Ubiquiti is exactly that: simplified and well integrated "magic" solution. Maybe a bit overpriced, but still doing their job well.
