I'm trying a router from my ISP's network and the Wi-Fi performance isn't great. I'm considering purchasing a new one for about 200€. From what I've learned, those models are decent but I lack sufficient expertise to make a confident choice. Which one should I choose? Or perhaps another option around the same price that might be even better? Looking forward to your advice.

I’m still operating with my ASUS RT-N56U as a Wi-Fi access point. It served as my primary router before I explored setting it up using pfSense. The interface on the ASUS was very user-friendly. No major issues reported.

The signal strength at your location appears to be affected by the distance and obstacles. Being about 7 meters away with two walls between you and the router likely reduces the strength, but it may still be sufficient depending on the environment.

I've used it for several years now. It performs well, spans the entire 1300 sq ft of the home and some exterior areas, and includes many interesting elements. Installation is relatively straightforward.

Uncertain about the exact frequency—likely around 2.4GHz, though 5GHz might face challenges. I see about 90% coverage with a single access point, and I know my device is quite old. You probably won’t run into major problems unless your walls are made of lead.

Absolutely, I understand. Your walls are constructed from reinforced concrete.

It’s going to be a challenging situation. Hardware and internet aren’t compatible. You may need to add several access points connected to a main router.

The best spot seems to be near a corner with two doors opening... It probably works out fine.
