Fritzbox, avm. Depending on your isp you can also use it to replace your modem, and they have mesh functionality.

What? Are those actually made inside the EU, not just by a German company but overseas?

They are actually developed in Berlin and made in EU. According to Wikipedia, some components, such as power supply or empty PCBs may come from Asia.

That's awesome to hear, because they seem to be extremely common in Germany โ€“ at least in Berlin, in 2010. Probably now as well. It seemed that wherever I was connecting to WiFi at friends' places, there were always three to ten available WiFi networks with names such as FritzBox-FG42KF1EE or similar.

My ISP actually supplies Fritzbox routers by default.

I turned mine into a passthrough modem for my pfsense firewall to use, but it's a solid piece of kit.
