Hi all, need recommendations router replacement for my maxis fibre 500Mbps

Requirements that I need
Wifi 6/7
AX1800 and above
Have support for maxis usb 4g backup dongle.

Current setup is I'm using the maxis stock router to connect to the internet and my tp link ax20 as an access points.

Previously tplink AX20 was my default router when I was on Unifi but when I switched to Maxis I changed it as an access points as Im lazy to reconfigure all my smart device(ip cctv, robot vacuum etc) and I think it will perform better than the maxis stick router.(Which is right).
I need the maxis router since Im using it with a backup 4g usb dongle incase the fibre is down. But then the maxis stock router is dead after 1 month plus of use. It's out of warranty I think as previously I didn't use the router and use only the AX20 router.

Thanks in advance

The problem with the Maxis dongle is that it checks specifically for "Maxis_Archer_c5v" hostname.

all of Maxis's provided router reports themselves as that to the dongle

OpenWRT can do it

not sure if any other consumer routers can do that

That sucks then meaning have to find other usb modem to be used with the sim right.

Just called and checked with maxis. They still have warranty for the router. So I'll just wait for them to change it fir now

If you want 4G dongle support, only ASUS can do it properly.

Get the TUF-AX4200, great product

Yes, you can use it for 4G backup on ASUS routers.
