Not gaslighting. But buying a $1000 router and expecting the world isn’t the right thing to do and a total waste of money. Consumer grade routers like that are often a waste of money and underperform also.

No ISP provides a 6E router. But most provide WiFi 6 routers these days. Skinny / 2degrees / Orcon / Sky Broadband all provide pretty good WiFi 6 routers. You also just recently changed to Skinny and said their router was good - what's wrong with it now?

Read this: https://www.duckware.com/tech/wifi-in-the-us.html - the problem is basically none of your devices will be able to take advantage of anything these routers offer. You’re better saving your money, using Ethernet where you can and perhaps telling us what you’re wanting to achieve here. This is not gaslighting, this is allowing you to make an informed decision based off your actual needs.
