Old router was dropping/resetting Wi-Fi so I spent a lot of time looking for a new router. I don't need wifi7 or to spend $1000 on a new one. The old one had a really slow web interface and was a pain to do anything. This one has recent hardware, a good price (especially on sale), and is significantly faster and has more options. Most new routers require an app to set up and that was a no go for me. Completely unnecessary to install an app and create some internet accounts just to set some settings/IPs locally. So this one was easy to get into the web interface by Ethernet or wireless to set everything up. I'm shocked at how responsive the interface is. I've had very steady and strong wifi coverage. I have a couple devices plugged in via Ethernet and have had no issues. Easy to pull firmware updates. I've done some MAC filtering and DHCP reservations, and while not quite as intuitive as I've seen in the past it was also fairly simple. It doesn't matter to me but this is slightly smaller than my last router, but design wise it still has the standard external antennas that is not as decorative as some of the new ones, but again that wasn't important to me.
