Help needed in choosing Wifi 6 router

Just signed up for Vodafone 900mbps broadband. From the discussions on the deal, found out that the router comes with the deal is pretty much useless. Can anyone please recommend what’s the best third party router to buy for a 4 bed house? Thanks all.

    Go for the eero 6 set up
    I have the main unit in my house
    My daughter has my second unit in her house over the road. No issues

    You fibre 1gb connection speed test on my S10+ is 980-1gb , streams no issues on old fire tv box.
    Daughter streams on 2 different fire sticks all the time.
    Eero app let's me have full controls
    Haven't got any WiFi 6 devices yet so can't comment on that yet

    I have got 3 Eero 6 Pro routers as a mesh network in my house and they are awesome I have tried out the Wifi6 using my Samsung phone and get great speed with that as well.

    Is that the pro package you got?

    Nope, its just the full fibre 900. Not pro 2 full fibre. I think pro comes with a wifi 6E router, but its extra £12 a month for 24 months. If I can get a good third party one for less than £288 (24m x 12), its good I guess.

    The Synology WRX560 is the best router if you have gigabit internet service.

    Thank you, but they recommend combining multiple Synology routers for mesh support for whole home coverage? One itself is around £210+. Are you using just one and get gigabit speeds throughout home?
