Looking to purchase a new router with Wi-Fi 6 and was looking for best options for gaming and smart home system. Also do some network file transfers and prefer triband.

Don't fall for the advertising. It's just some form of traffic management/prioritization that is being enforced. Most decent "non-gaming" routers will have a similar feature built in.

Again, this is nothing special. Most IoT devices use a small amount of bandwidth over the 2.4GHz band which can be accommodated on most wireless routers.

That's what the switch ports are for. Gigabit or multi-gig? If you have a lot of wired devices, I'd also get a decent switch.

Hopefully, you mean 1x 2.4GHz and 2x 5GHz radios. You'll only get 6GHz support with WiFi 6E.

 

See here for some recommendations on WiFi 6 routers.
