And I hear TP-Link are not bad, but I agree with Asus... just make sure the 802.11 standards match up (ac/ax) or whatever.

Have personal experience with both of these, no issues. Both have movable antennae so you can get a clearer signal. For gaming, stick with the 2.4ghz band, it's going to be a more consistent signal (less ping spikes).
Would recommend trying to get a wired connection if gaming tho, will result in less ping spikes, that's just the nature wireless connections.

Eh I went to college and there were no ethernet ports anywhere. Just wifi. Maybe it's a situation like that
