Help what router to buy for new switch

#1
Hi. Our Microtix router board died because of power outage. Replacement of same make model was too expensive so
I bought a TPLINK (TLSL 1218MP) 16 port POE Switch. Internet company says I must buy a router to link to their modem and this switch.

I'm not an IT person, need recommendation on any specs I should look for when buying the router - I assume the usual home routers are not good enough?

(Switch has to be used for at least 10 access points on different floors)

THANK YOU!

It depends on what you need this router to do.
For simple DHCP (IP address issuing) you can get any router, including home-based routers.
If you need few extras like firewalls, each computer speed limit function, content filters and intrusion detection systems then you can get any Synology router https://www.synology.com/en-uk/products/RT6600ax. They also support smooth meshing systems instead of dumb access points.
The top-range router / switch that can manage network will be unify, dream machine router. https://amzn.to/3XkPFAw

I hope this helps.
