What I have now, in use since 2021...
Linksys WiFi 5 Router, Tri-Band, 3,000 Sq. ft Coverage, 25+ Devices, Speeds up to (AC5400) 5.4Gbps - EA9500
The house is about 2800 sq ft with a semi attached 1500 sq ft garage and detached workshop. I would love to get wifi in workshop a lil stronger but am not tied to that being a need here.
we do have a lot of things hooking up to wireless, not sure what all my daughter has but 3 phones, 6 cameras and 4 PCs a printer plus tablets and misc things- I guess at least 25 connections total. 2 of us game on the wifi without any real issues now other than the occasional wifi drop I have seen recently.
Really just looking for recommendations for a newer model router- 6 or 6E I guess? That would give just as good performance as I have now, no real complaints with this linksys model I am using but it has been recently dropping wifi momentarily. I really hate the phone App setup and prefer the old 192. way of configuring the router.
Price is not really an issue, but I like consistency and a set it and forget it type product would be best. I've looked at multiple routers and reviews but just can't figure out what would give me same/better performance, any ideas?

Thank you, that did clear up some of what was confusing me. I learn quick (or so wife says) but have never been around a multi AP type installation.
I did have direct TV (no longer in use) I have the box on house where coax comes from the dish, One hookup for cable on wall close to where router is now and one on the 2nd floor. Could I do MoCA from router out to box- then a splitter to hit the existing cable upstairs plus add a new cable run for back of house having an AP at all 3 spots (where router is now, upstairs and back of house?)
Maybe an easier way to ask is can I do MoCA with a splitter and multiple drops to provide as many APs as I like?
Any thoughts on something like this Lynksys Atlas 6 done with the wired backhaul through MoCA?
