Bad ping when in use - best router upgrade (currently running cake on older asus equipment)

New Around Here
Hi All, with the help of this forum years ago, I decided to buy an ASUS AX82U router modem and AX82 mesh node, install merlin and set up Cake. Since then my Kids have been happy with the interent performance (we only get a 20meg connection). However, I don't know if it is because it is getting old now, or maybe I've just got too many smart devicices connected I'm getting a lot of drop outs, sometimes devices just won't connect and occasionally the 5Ghz just stops broadcasting alltogther.

What would be the best set and forget system that would allow something like CAKE for bufferbloat, and ideally not slow down when using the USB HDD function (I am prepared to go seperate NAS if needed.

Also the current system is in the loft so a ceiling mounted node I guess would be a lot better than it sat in a cold / hot loft on loft insulation, but wired back haul is easily achieved (as it is currently). I was looking at Ubiquiti but not sure if it would be overkill for somebody usless like myself.
