For example: If you're into online gaming the ASUS AX3000 is a very good choice. The really great thing about ASUS is that if you discover you have wifi coverage issues in your home, you can buy another ASUS and easily mesh them together to improve the wifi coverage and speed. To do so, they simply need to both be ASUS mesh compatible. They do not have to be the exact same model.
The linksys wrt1900acs v2 is a great open source router that's customizable if you're so inclined, and with 1.9Gb speeds is also a good choice. Linksys (owned by Cisco) generally speaking does a good job with their hardware. I had Linksys that lasted over 10 years before the wifi quit working. I replaced it with the wifi router immediately below.
If your needs are much simpler such as basic web browsing, email, instant messaging and video streaming, a router like the TPLink AX1800 is a good budget choice. This is what I've had for about 3 years now. Rock-solid, easy to manage, covers my 2400SF townhome just fine (all three floors, I have it on the middle floor.)
Whatever your choice is, please make sure it supports WPA3 for wifi security.
Finally, not to influence your choice I'd simply add that were I looking to replace my current wifi router, I'd be looking very hard at the ASUS AX3000 and the Linksys WRT1900ACS v.2
Just my .02 (with inflation that's about $1.98 now I think...)
I think I ordered the wrong kind of memory for a GA-Z170-HD3P Gigabyte motherboard. All I get is five long beeps when I try and start it and that's indicative of a memory problem. I ensured they're seated correctly but I still get the beeps. So it's back to the drawing board.
Thanks for your recommendations though. I'll let you know what I get.
