I use an Asus ax89x and have a fibre-optic sfp+, going out to another part of the house.

I use ASUS RT-AX89X (AX6000) it looks like a face hugger from alien but it has great range. I also have set up a tp deco x55 for the rest of the house

Been running the ASUS AX6000 for like 2 years now and its been solid for my setup. Got jellyfin running on a mini pc plus some other services and never had any drops or weird connection issues The gl.inet stuff can be hit or miss - i had one of there older models that would randomly reboot under load which was annoying as hell. For around 200 you might also want to check out the netgear nighthawk ax12 if you can find it on sale. Way more reliable than budget wifi 7 options imo Also make sure your not getting interference from neighbors - sometimes the 6ghz bands on wifi 7 routers get wonky in dense areas

I got rid of my Asus AX6000 and AX3000 for a single Reyee RG-EW7200BE-PRO and I am thoroughly impressed. Better in every way and way cheaper than the Asus devices.

Asus is terrible. I just got rid of all my Asus routers. I'm using a single Reyee RG-EW7200BE-PRO now. What a difference, the software is a million times better and the performance is far superior for half the price of Asus.
