That's new, haven't even heard of that one, but don't really follow routers on a daily basis.This https://rog.asus.com/networking/rog-rapture-gt-ax6000-model/
It should be reasonably future proof, as long as you don't care about the 6 GHz band.
Yes, it's big, clunky and fugly, but it's the first consumer router with two 2.5 Gbps ports.
It's the most stable router I've ever owned. Never had to reboot it because the router had a hissy fit. It obviously gets rebooted when I've installed software updates, but it was working non-stop for at least seven months in 2020, when I was stuck in Sweden, plus the start of the year. The WiFi signal is still really fast and reliable after 5+ years of usage.
Not overly fond of the Netgear UI/UX, but it has everything there that's needed, if if it's not always as advanced as it could be for certain things and annoying complex for some other bits.

I have never used it.
He should install the Voxel firmware, as he's keeping the firmware up to date and has even added a few things. There's also an add-on available for it which should apparently be released as a final release sometime this year. I haven't tried it, but it's meant to add a lot of features. I don't feel like I really need a bunch of other stuff for it.
I wish Asus made some more Qualcomm based hardware, but every time they do, it feels like their engineers aren't capable of bringing them to the same functional levels as their Broadcom based hardware.

ouch $400 USD so about $510 CAD w/o 13% tax. Could add it to the list with the AX86u and just wait for sales and reviews. Old AC68U still performing good for now, but usually better to replace before it dies and end up with a bunch of disgruntled kids and wife with no wifi lol
