I am looking for one that is 200 and under. Our wifi router died today and we are using a older wifi router one that is a few years old. Looking for one with longevity and durability. Whats your recommendations for me?

You didn't specify what country you're buying from, what $200 in your local currency is, whether or not you need Wi-Fi6, how much space you're trying to cover with the router/AP, etc., and it's not 100% clear from your Reddit profile/posts either (probably a good thing though). Thus, I can't make any country-specific recommendations, because not everything is available globally - however, look for something that can run OpenWRT reliably (because it probably already is running some fork of DD-WRT already if it comes from some companies):
