Wifi 6e access point recommendations (alien.top)

Now that black friday is pretty much here I've decided to do away with the ISP provided wifi router and I'm in the market for a wifi 6e access point. I already have an opnsense box at the ready to do the router part, the ISP's wifi router is in AP mode.

For reasons I can't change I can't wire the house for ethernet, I have no coax and I already have powerline which works alright but far from great and doesn't hit the spot. The AP has to be inside of a cupboard with 3 solid walls around it plus a wooden door that signals have to punch through.

I have never bought any wifi hardware so I'm a little lost on brands and whatnot. What I'm after:

Wifi 6e
Longish range
Sub-200

I realise it's probably a "pick 2" situation since 6e is relatively new and uncommon. I'm not after mesh systems, they'd be useless given the problem I'm trying to solve
