What's the criteria?

Speed and reliability? Snakeboi.

Ability to move around unimpeded and/or taking a dump while being on Lemmy? $350 router with spikes.

And if prison rules, I'm going router with spikes...

Reliability 100% the snakeboi

But for speed, WiFi can actually out-perform those particular snakebois in many scenarios.

In perfect conditions for Wi-Fi. I live in a high rise and the 2.4 Ghz band is hardly usable. My previous phone didn't have dual band Wi-Fi and it was much faster on 4G than WiFi.

Plus, modern routers and APs often rely on band aggregation and so even with devices that have dual band, crowded airwaves will have a negative effect on speed.

Wi-Fi is very fast when I'm in my cabin in the countryside. But when I get home with the same devices, it's barely usable.

You could argue that I need a better router with the newest protocol and gizmos but so far, even with new bands and protocols, Wi-Fi is still a competition of which router and devices will shout louder than their neighbors.

Yes, it seems painfully obvious that the primary driver of new WiFi router sales, is WiFi overcrowding.
