Need a router recommendation please!

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 shows that by just not working for a few seconds randomly dc'ing, packetloss while gaming 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 probably have one or two wifi 6 devices at home atm so I would prefer a Wifi-6 router for future proofing.
Not too worried about range, I'm sure whatever router it may be will be good enough. I only have my ps4 hooked up on ethernet all other devices heavily rely on wifi so I would prefer having the additional features such as MU-MMIO, Idk much about it but I've read its pretty useful for handling multiple devices
 

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. Router options here are pretty limited so it would be useful if the recommendations are based on whats available on https://www.amazon.ae/.
 

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