Netgear Nighthawk 8300. And for the record it is AC5000. The 8500 is AC5300.

Even with the 4 antennas and beam forming...I still installed an AC1900 router upstairs. 5 GHZ just doesn't travel well through drywall.

Make sure that your devices can handle the different types of Wireless AC or the now Faster WiFi 6. I think my phone (Samsung S20) can do WiFi 6. My Think-pad Carbon Gen 6 is only Wireless AC.
