   just about everything can do that these days, and it's giga *bit* ports.   
      
   you also didn't say how large of an area to cover. for bigger spaces,   
   including a medium to large house, a mesh unit will work well, some of   
   which are *very* easy to set up (some claim a few minutes) and can even   
   be securely administered remotely. for smaller spaces, just get one or   
   maybe two nodes.

   the better routers (and other products) are easy to use and don't need   
   tech support.

   most are, but nothing can guarantee 100% uptime.   
      
   synology, asus and ubiquiti amplifi are good choices. netgear and   
   linksys/belkin not so much.
