Sos: hunting for the best asus router for my home network

Long-time lurker, first-time poster here. I'm finally ditching my ancient router and want to go with ASUS, but I'm getting a headache looking at all their models. Could use some advice from you guys.

I live in an older two-story house, about 2000 sq ft. There's four of us - me, my wife, and our two teenagers - and we're all constantly online. We've got a bunch of smart home gadgets like lights, thermostats, and cameras. I'm a casual gamer, mostly on weekends. We're currently on a 300 Mbps fiber plan, which has been okay so far.

I'm not sure which ASUS router would be best for our needs. Is Wi-Fi 6 really worth the extra cost? Also, how's the ASUS app for managing the network? Thanks in advance for any help. This community has been awesome for tech advice!
