Which device to buy...

[Mr-Tea]

Hi,

I am trying to find a router and an Access Layer 3 switch as well as a Wifi 6 AP for the SOHO area.

When I bought cisco devices in the past, the management was always very different.

For example, the SG 300 switch has a very limited IOS but can be managed via SSH, telnet and the console port as well as a web UI.

My RV345 router can only be managed via Web UI (which looks very different from the switches web ui)

I would be great, if I could manage the devices via IOS (without the limitations) as well as SSH.

Also, I need VTP, OSPF or EIGRP, RSTP, CDP, LLDP, NTP, DHCP, DNS, 802.1x,AAA, EtherChannel, ACLs, IPv6, PoE, QoS, WAN LB for the Router

My SG 300 switch has all except for dynamic routing and VTP.

My RV345 has only NTP, DHCP, DNS, ACLs. (but all very limited thanks to the UI).

The AP should support 802.11az

Do you have any recommendations on what to buy as I do not want to buy an outdated product but also do not really like the web UI only products. 

Is the limited CLI only because of the SOHO area or is this a general direction cisco is heading to, also in the enterprise area?

Thx

Chris
