Hi! What wifi router should I get for a 1 gb fiber connection? I have about 13-16 devices and around 1000 sq ft of area, but I don’t need anything special. Some of my devices are only 2.4 ghz compatible. I’ve been plugging my TV into my current router, so I need at least 1 ethernet port; two would be nice. I would prefer to not have to use an app on my phone to access the router’s page. No gaming, just basic web usage and video streaming.

I narrowed it down to ASUS AX3000 WiFi 6 ($80 new) and Netgear Nighthawk RS90 Wifi 7 ($130 new). I was hoping to pay less than $50…is there anything at that price point that is a major brand that isn’t getting sued anytime soon (TPLINK)? Is the Netgear worth ~$60 more? Other recommendations? thanks!
