For small family home deployments I've always used ASUS stuff flashed with AsusWRT-Merlin - https://www.asuswrt-merlin.net/ - has been super stable and I've never required anything other than a local account to set them up.

I agree this is the best ‘technical family’ solution. Good balance of easy-to-use, stable as well as some advanced features if needed.

OP : If you are technical you can buy a TM-AC1900 on ebay for $40 and flash it with the AC-68U

Merlin supports ai.mesh. Very nice. The roaming support from the stock firmware works well from the small installations I've done. Have you made use of the feature in the Merlin variant?
