Forgot to Reply All so you can all see my superior opinion on hardware
that is betterer than anything you guys are using no matter what your
situation is.
Also the specific Mikrotiks I used were horrible so all Mikrotiks are
bad mmkay.

I assume you mean 200Mbps.
Ubiquiti has it's place. I'll take an Edgerouter any day over a Meraki
(financial hostage situation) but I wouldn't touch a Unifi router (too
much automated shit going on and not enough quality control).
No big deal if firmware breaks an Edgerouter as long as you aren't
upgrading remotely without testing on a local device first.
My preferred option for most sites is Debian. Configuration is just a
handful of easy to read text files that can easily be used on a lot of
different hardware with little to no changes. If I want LTE or more
ports etc I just buy whatever hardware I need to that supports it.

Hi All,
We have sites that are NBN FTTN (last mile VDSL2) which are being
upgraded to FTTP starting later this month.
Currently we run Cisco 1900 series routers into firewalls, switches,
etc for small sites with 5-15 staff and that has worked well for many
years.
Our smallest FTTP site will be 140 / 40MBps with larger sites 200MBps+
hence I was thinking it’s time to upgrade / replace the 1900 units.
Some of them are in support, however I’m not really bothered as we
have plenty of spares and this is a good opportunity to make
improvements whilst we’re doing site visits.
A few sites have 4G / 5G backup via separate router which can remain
as is or integrated with new hardware if possible.
We do have some Ubiquiti devices around which work well, happy to
consider those and any other suggestions.
Happy to hear recommendations off or on list if the information can
benefit someone else here.
Cheers
Darren.
