I am looking to upgrade from my aging and EOL Netgear Nighthawk AC2100 router to something in the wifi 6 realm. I would possibly be interested in a wifi 7 device if the price was right. Anyway on my shortlist I the Asus ROG Rapture GT-AX 6000 which seems to get high marks all around. I've also read good things about the GLi net Flint 2 (MT 6000) which can be had on Amazon for a great price currently (in the US). One other other one that caught my eye in the Asus RT-Be92U which is a Tri-Bank wifi 7 router. I like the fact that all of these have (2) 2.5 ports for a bit of future proofing. On something like the GT-AX6000 should I be worried that it will be EOL quicker that the others I mentioned as it's been out over (2) years already?

My current Netgear Nighthawk AC2100 has enough range for my enviroment it's just time for an upgrade and honestly I would think any of the above routers would be a major? step up from it? I'm also open to other suggestions for a router as well and I'm not really attached to any one brand. I just want something that's going to be reliable and hopefully last at least (5) years.
 
OP here. Just tossing another contender into the mix: Asus RX-AX88U Pro. I think it's very similar to the GT-AX-6000 but not sure if it might be supported longer?
