Just looking at the specs of the ones you have listed. I would go with the Nighthawk AX5300. It will have better distance and higher speeds. How much are you looking to spend? There are other options out there. Such as the Asus RT-AX88U Pro. It is $200 on amazon currently with a coupon.

Is there a reason you are not considering any TP-Link routers like the TP-Link AX6000 ?

DIY Router Vs $200 Router (alien.top)
 

I need to get a new router since mine is an ancient 7 years old. I was looking around and was thinking of getting the TP-Link AXE5400 . I then found out you can build your own. I saw that you can use an old computer, which I have 2 of. One PC is an AMD FX-8120 and the other is an AMD A4-5000. Does it make sense to build your own router for a medium to small house with 600mbps and wanting to use steam link and Meta Air Link?

Modem vs Router Ethernet Speeds (alien.top)
 

I have an old NETGEAR Nighthawk Smart Wi-Fi Router, R6700v1. When connected to Ethernet to the first port of my router, using a Cat 6 cable, I am only getting around 380 Mbps. When I directly connect to the modem I am getting 820 Mbps. On the product page it says that all 4 ports of gigabit Ethernet. Why am I getting such lower speeds when using my router?

Not sure if this matters but the current firmware I am running is the most recent version of FreshTomato.
