Thanks, that's actually interesting info. It still makes it a little hard to buy things though. Out of the ones on the table, one of the ax ones fits into my budget, but there soooo many WiFi 5 routers I don't know what to shortlist. I want something that will cover my detached house decently, at least better than my ISP's piece of doodoo, but the table is not useful trying to compare range, power, signal to noise, stability... I've been meaning to buy a router for 4 years and every time I start looking for one, I'm overwhelmed, and I get annoyed that unlike graphics cards, CPU s, even hard drives or SSDs, there's no technical, data driven reviews anywhere, just people on the web comparing manufacturer's provided stats

There are useful reviews. For example, some page on OpenWrt wiki compares performance of different VPN solutions on various routers. I would expect things like range to be covered too (maybe somewhere else). Just remember that you don't need to know about the specific device, you need to know which Wi-Fi chips are used in it. Unless the manufacturer does something weird, you can expect similar results from routers with similar chips and similar board designs. I agree that consumer router industry has much to improve. For most people they are essentially black boxes, almost like smartphones. Luckily, a lot of technical data is documented on various wikis.

I'm more interested in the wireless performance of AP routers. Give the use we have, the base switch/router functions of it I'm not too afraid of. Anyway, I'll try and look, again, for better tech reviews of APs, although not holding my hopes up. But later. Going to uni first

To clarify: are you buying an AP or a router but with most of the concern about its built-in AP?

Brands don't matter as much as manufacturers of the actual hardware. Your TP-Link, D-Link, ASUS, etc. just buy a reference board from Qualcomm, MediaTek and other big names and tweak it to their needs, install their own internal distro, put it in a case and run a marketing campaign.
