I've found out-of-box Asus to be pretty good, and they sometimes even incorporate features from third-party firmware (see "first debuted"):
My choices are the RT-AC86U, and the RT-AX68U if you need Wifi 6 support.
Don’t get the RT-AC88U though, it has no CAKE.
(If you’re lucky enough to have a gigabit connection, you’ll need more expensive stuff.)
