Nothing wrong with netgear or linksys routers, the router that I didn't like as much was an ASUS, I did corporate networks over 30 years ago.
Wired networks are the best, and creating a network using multiple routers all connected with cat 5 or better is the best setup.
If you are buying a router today, I would go with 1 that has at least 802.11AC at a minimum and preferably 802.11AX and wifi 6. Have somebody terminate or pull cables from where your ISP router/modem is to areas in your house that lacks coverage or needs a network switch for equipment that needs network access and doesn't have wifi, and place a router in these locations, then setup a bridge network.
Or just buy 1 of the better mesh network packages with 2 or 3 devices.
