Very informative.

I use a TP Link 1750AC cheap router($60) that seems work perfectly fine for the whole house for streaming and surfing.

My internet is about 20mbps down and 6mbps up.

I never felt the need that my bandwidth is too slow somehow. What's the super 1Gbps wifi + ISP for? I never need it, maybe until I'm doing VR on Internet some day.

Transfer large files inside the house over wifi is the only time I felt wifi is not fast enough, but that happens once a year, for huge size files I can do USB transfer anyways.

In short, $60 router suffices for me. I see no needs for wifi6 yet for 99% of the households.
