[Hidden-tech] help with enterprise grade router recommendation?

[Kiernan Gulick-Sherrill]

For the very high end consumer routers I have been recommending the tp-link
Ac routers (c9, or their multi radio night hawk equivalent). Fantastic
range and support a lot of users.  The Ac multi radio routers are great for
most small businesses.

For actual commercial routers go with sonic wall. They make great
commercial grade routers with huge feature sets.
