Looking for recommendations for SMB router/firewall

Post Body

I've been tasked with replacing our unreliable DLINK M18 router with a proper business grade solution. While I have experience with more complex business grade solutions, nothing that I'm familiar with seems to make sense for a business this small (or has a complicated interface that no one here would be comfortable managing). More than anything, it feels like ease of use and network security don't come in the same product, from what I've seen so far.

Our needs are: - Gigabit speeds - Minimum 2 LAN ports - VLAN support (I want to isolate the security camera network and only allow certain devices to route to it from the main network) - Good 2.4GHz wifi (surface penetration is more important than speed) - Easy to use interface (I don't want them to be dependent on me sticking around) - Good network security (a network intrusion has the potential to end the business)

Current devices: - NVR with direct connections to 8 cameras - Windows Server - 3 workstations - 4 laptops * Plans to expand with a handful more employees, each requiring a laptop

WiFi can be a separate device, it doesn't need to be integrated.

Meraki Go seemed perfect... but they're being discontinued, and a network security device with no updates feels like a bad idea. What else is on the easier side for management, without throwing decent security out of the window? I've been looking at Ubiquiti's UDR, but the more I learn the less it seems worthwhile without plans to buy into their ecosystem as a whole.

Needs to be readily available in Canada.
