I need a wireless router that supports a 100 square meter coverage area and delivers up to 1000 Mbps. Right now you're experiencing only about 35 Mbps, so look for models with strong indoor performance and good signal strength near your router.

Do you achieve improved outcomes with a LAN cable? Perhaps it's not the router, since I don't prefer ISP routers—they aren't that problematic.

I attempted Lan and it reached about 700 Mbps too. By the way, my S21 Ultra performs around 60 Mbps, and the OEM model has two antennas.

killer wireless ac 1550i performs well, but your laptop’s internal antenna might limit performance. Consider a USB Wi-Fi dongle with a real antenna, such as the one mentioned, and upgrade your router to include a high-gain antenna. For my advice, try the TP-Link Archer AX21 (link: https://www.amazon.com/TP-Link-Router-AX...a_1_2_sspa). Keep in mind that maintaining 100m range with consistent speed usually requires a Wi-Fi mesh setup.

A few points to note. If the router is right beside you, an Ethernet cable is your best option. Also, WiFi 5 doesn’t support Gigabit speeds. I believe 866 Mbps is the highest speed it can achieve in a lab setting, but in everyday use you usually get about two-thirds of that. When connecting via WiFi, it’s important to adjust your expectations. I’m sure WiFi 6 could get closer to the 1 Gbps figure, but since your laptop uses a WiFi 5 chip, it may need an upgrade to support WiFi 6, and even then there are no certain promises about performance.

Your direct wired link to the ISP's main hub is limited to 700/1000Mbps, which matches the rate you're billed for. You should contact your ISP about increasing the speed.
