Router suggestion

[D3ATHBoy]

Hi! So I'm living in Dubai and the connection is from THE ISP etisalat 50mbps down 20mbps up and is a PPPOE connection. (I might upgrade to 250mbps down later)

The current router I have is given by the ISP it's a dlink-DIR853 with a custom firmware from them (very sketchy) and probably a trash router.

I have atleast 13 devices connected over WiFi and being used simultaneously with varying uses such as multiple video meetings, gaming and streaming content. With so many devices I'm certain my router struggles and sometimes it even shoes that by just not working for a few seconds randomly and what not. Once even just crashed and wouldn't connect to the internet for an hour. I do not have or need any additional equipment like AP's or repeaters just a good router to replace this and handle alot of devices without any problem while also maybe offering some features such as prioritizing video calls gaming or such.

I'm looking to spend 100$-150$ (upto 500 AED) in the currency here. I'll probably purchase it from Amazon.ae here if that makes it any easier to recommend from what's available here.

Thank you! I'll answer any additional questions in the comments if needed.

Best bang for the buck.

Thank you for the suggestion, interestingly never heard of it and sounds ok but I'm concerned about the Chinese brand and software and also I've heard people say stay away from AX routers as they are new and not perfect yet.. so especially this budget AX router seems slightly concerning.

So far Xiaomi is less "chinese" than the other mainland hardware company.

Nothing on the radar if you know what i mean.

Check the reviews, what i've seen is good things.
