Advice on moving from TP-Link to ASUS

nikaidoboss

New Around Here
I am moving houses to a new place and have some Tapo Floodlight Cameras outside
The new place is 185m2 / Current is 120m2
I currently have 2x AX53 TP-Link Routers wired backhaul mesh. they work fine but the RSSI signal to most cameras behind brick/plastered walls have horrible signal 70-80 RSSI including the ring doorbell.
I need to upgrade to accommodate the bigger house / all walls are brick&plaster.
I initially thought about the BE800 or GE800 TP-Link as main routers and wire backhaul to the AX53s then now thought about going the ASUS Route with 2 decent routers
my options on the ASUS side is GT-AX6000 / RT-AX88U Pro / RT-BE88U Pro / AX89X Pro
I did purchase one GT-AX6000 today as a test first but I can still return and go a different route
GT-AX6000 is the cheapest of the bunch at almost 200$ the RT-BE88U is 411$ and the GE800 is the most expensive at 470$
I dont really need any VLAN stuff I dont know personally what people use Vlans for in home networks.
I also have a wired connection to each room in the house.
I could find the VPN Fusion option (using VPN on specific applications while rest of network is not behind a VPN usefull for some things) thus leaning towards ASUS but its not a deal breaker
