Time for a new router (alien.top)

We are looking for a new router. We currently have a Netgear (r6250) that's probably 7 years old or so. We haven't had any major issues with our current router but we're due for a new one! We have an employer reimbursement available up to $500 but we have to use it now. What are some recommendations for routers? We don't really have any unusual needs. Teenagers and their gaming and streaming habits, TV streaming, Pixel 7 phones for all of us, and my husband works from home. I was doing some research but it was getting very boggling so any recommendations would be appreciated!

Since you have "financing", you could step up into prosumer with a Ubiquiti UniFi Dream Router or Dream Machine. The DR has wifi 6. The DM is wifi 5, but can handle a bit more.
