Buying bleeding-edge and/or name-brand

I do not buy bleeding-edge routers as the prices are insane for little benefit. The only thing you need to know is when I decided to expand my wireless reach I pulled 3 of the 4 routers out of a box in the shed and used them instead of buying "bleeding-edge" AP devices. The 4th router was my current router that was replaced by my internet supplier when I switched to fiber and they installed their own router in place of my 4th one which I then turned in an AP device for $0.00. No I'm not getting wifi 6 or wifi 7 wireless speeds but I don't need it as I previously explained to you.

(meanwhile, the Foxbat family does quite nicely with 50 Mbps down and 8 Mbps up since we don't live in a fiber neighborhood)

Unless you have a large family that all watches independently, or you are participating in WFH, I'm thinking more than 200Mbps down is probably overkill.
