WiFi router for FTTP

Looking for recommendations for a reasonably decent WiFi router (£200-250 budget if needed).

Just got gigabit FTTP and not overly impressed with the Eero thing we were supplied with. Seems a bit basic and I dislike the lack of a web browser interface.

Since the Eero doesn't have enough LAN ports, I'd need to get a switch anyway, so I'm thinking of replacing it altogether.

Main PCs are connected by ethernet, but we have quite a few wireless devices (laptops, phones, TVs etc) so might as well go for WiFi 7 as I want it to last a while (fumbled on with a BT smart hub for as long as I can remember) and would like to make the most of the gigabit connection. Don't need a mesh system or anything too fancy as we just have a standard 1920s semi.

TP Link BE9300 looks ok, but not really kept up with networking equipment. Generally used Netgear in the distant past.

Thanks in advance.
 
Thanks for the suggestion, that router looks good, but is perhaps a bit too in-depth for what I need!

A family member bought a pack of 3 Asus BT8s (I don't know on whose advice). They've decided that they're getting good coverage with just 2, so have offered me the 3rd one for free. It seems to get decent enough reviews, looks ok on paper and is better than the Eero I have, but on the other hand all I read about Asus routers are they are marketing rubbish and security horror shows. Is it worth bothering with?
