Hello. For your 500 Mbps plan, consider the TP-Link Archer A6 as it offers better performance and features compared to the others. The Tenda AC10 is solid but may not match the A6's capabilities. The TP-Link Archer C6 is a strong contender too, depending on your specific needs.

They’re almost identical. I’d consider switching to a WiFi 6 router.

I'm not familiar with Tenda; perhaps their durability is uncertain. Alternatively, as the saying goes, most modern routers are quite similar.

I’d choose Asus and purchase a WiFi 6 router for two main reasons. First, Asus routers make it easy to connect another Asus device to build a mesh network. Second, WiFi 6 offers superior traffic handling and represents the newest wireless technology, ensuring long-term protection against future connectivity challenges.

WiFi 6 isn't guaranteed to last forever since it's not an official standard yet. Unfortunately, some vendors are misleading by claiming their own certification, which only confirms compatibility with existing hardware, not full compliance with the final standard. WiFi 6e is just around the corner and seems more practical because it expands available radio spectrum, whereas WiFi 6 still battles for bandwidth against older protocols.

Yeah this is true although I have a wifi 6 mesh system currently and I am definitely benefitting from it as I have gone from getting 30mbps in someplace's to receiving the full 365mbps down i get via ethernet now through WiFi which i cannot complain about at all and the latency is 1ms more than ethernet which is madness and negligible.
