A) use 2 rt-ax86s routers or B) 1 rt-ax86s & pair of rt-ax92u The price difference is $50 not a big deal.
My house is 3000sqf, have about 40 or so devices. Many are smart plugs/bulbs/thermostat/etc on 2.4ghz. Tablets, phones, laptop, rokus use 5ghz and are wifi 4 & 5ghz. I new laptop with wifi 6. All Routers/nodes would be hard wired for backhaul.
My current network uses an 8 year old zxyel router and 1 amped ac2600 A.P. (centrally located) which is about 4 years. The AP does a nice job of covering my house. My current internet plan is 600mgbs. I probably will never get over 1 gig service (old retired guy). I use 4 network switches. About 10 devices are ethernet. Streaming movies, music, usual internet surfing and casual gaming needs.
I would like to get wifi speeds of 300 to 450 in my house. Solid connections with minimal dropouts. All routers/nodes will be in open spaces. I believe the rt-ax-86s and rt-ax92u can use the 160 band. Would like upgrade to wifi6 for future needs. I would appreciate any input. I have just enough tech savvy to get into trouble. But I am learning.
Much appreciated
