Just don’t buy the newest latest kit as your playing with beta firmware versions. This goes for pretty much anything computer related or anything that has a firmware.
Netgear kit as a whole will look after you, for wired just spend the money and get netgear ProSafe kit with lifetime warranty, as mentioned above, all my audio needs are wired cat5e solid copper. I use netgear nighthawk for my Wi-fi needs, with netgear extender, works flawlessly through thick stone walls here in the UK.
Custom firmware is available for most if needed, especially if you want to run VPN tunnels etc. Having said that don’t disregard Asus kit, AC68U, is a cracking piece of kit and can run OpenVPN out of the box. My background is over 30 years in IT
