Advice needed to choose the corect router

Hi, so I am looking for one of the gli routers for a project. My main considerations:

  • connected to my main house ethernet
  • create a separate network for the extra lan ports and wifi
  • access point without internet access ( if I disconnect my main network I need to still be able to connect to the devices/network connected to the gli )

There will be 2 hardwired and about 5 wifi devices connected to gli and they all need to be on their own network and still comunicate between them even if the main ethernet is down.

At the moment I am using a pi4 with AP access mode to pass the main network to that devices( only the wifi ones) but we all know the pi is not the best because of the wifi antenas and only one lan port.

Look here to see which one might fit to your needs: Product Comparison - GL.iNet

Seems GL routers able to meet your requirements, for more further if can it meet, still actual test the router connects to your network devices.
