When I use wifi for streaming, whatever app buffers content so I don't notice any difference with hard wired vs WiFi. I have fiber internet. For demanding devices I have ethernet ports so I hardly pay attention to WiFi versions. My router is a $150 price point thing with 3 antennas from at least 5+ years ago. Given that streaming video and gaming are the two likely most sensitive traffic types on my network and I notice zero issues - I can't fathom paying those amounts for something where I'd probably not notice.
Do people regularly upgrade home routers? I typically just buy a new one when the old one dies.
