Best router to get for a 2000 sq area. Unfortunately wired isn’t an option at this time but maybe in the future.Appreciate suggestions.

Whatever Asus AX88 flavor is out now.
Why specifically the 88? Versions? Is there some feature that other Asus routers don’t have? I’m currently researching to replace my aging linksys, so your comment caught my eye.
Imho it’s the best price to performance. Router in their lineup.
Is one better then the other to set up the router meaning app vs webpage?
Good to know. Thank you
Another question, any thoughts on the Asus RT-AX88U vs a ubiquiti dream router? Both are close in price. My situation is: empty nesters in larger house with a small but growing collection of smart devices. At some point point I’ll add wired access points in the basement and upper floor.
I personally don’t like the UDR. I think it’s a woefully underpowered device. Because I feel anyone who learns the GUI and system is going to grow out of it and end up in a more powerful device. I think it fits more in the “I need to put something in my parents house that I can manage easily remotely.” It also caps at 700mbps.
But lots of people like them. I’d say it’s split 50/50 maybe 70/30 with people who feel similarly to myself. And those who like/enjoy them.
I absolutely love unifi though. If you’re willing to learn it, I say go for it. But I’d go router, switch, APs, over the UDR.
UDR was a question I had also. Ganna set up the Asus I have and see how it is.
Thank you again. I was aware of the speed cap but didn’t realize it was underpowered. So I’m assuming the amplifi alien would be the same. The reason I was looking in that direction was that my understanding was they were capable of handling more IoT devices than consumer level hardware like Asus. I also hadn’t thought about the Unifi dream machine and Vlan route for devices. That makes a lot of sense. Although I suspect it would be a lot more expensive than the Asus path.
