Hi there!

 

I'm new to router and Network setup and could use some advice.

I'm looking at the ER707-M2 router for a small office/home setup.

 

Here's what I want to do:

 

  1. Use the router as a simple firewall
  2. Connect to my provider's 2.5 Gbit access point via WAN port
  3. Use one 2.5 Gbit LAN port to connect to a switch and provide full 2 GBit access to all ports and new devices 
  4. Enable DHCP on the router for a single LAN network (unless you guys have a better suggestion)
  5. Connect to my TP-Link Deco XE75 Pro Wi-Fi 6E Mesh for streaming home automation and other older Wi-Fi devices 

 

Before buying, I want to make sure this setup is possible and not overkill. While I don't need VPN now, it might be useful later.

Can anyone confirm if the ER707-M2 is suitable for this setup and not a overkill?

Any advice or alternatives are welcome!

 

Thanks in advance for your help!

 

Best regards
