Hi. Currently using a TP Link Archer C9. Looking for upgrade to Wifi 6 or 7.

House type: Landed
Features required: Most important is the ability to stand vertically due to limited space on wall mounted rack. Has to be as compact as possible or at least similar dimensions to Archer C9.
Number of devices connected to WiFi: 10~15
Internet Speed: 500Mbps
Budget: RM400~600

Choices kinda limited to fit that price range while being a vertical design

Uhm, perhaps ASUS RT-AX59U or something like TP-Link Deco X50 if you don't mind a mesh?

I think the RT-AX59U is the closest to what I am looking for. Thanks.

Also might not be the right place to ask, but if I am willing to learn to configure them, could the Mikrotik and Ubiquiti routers/gateways be a good idea? I noticed they are quite compact. My other plan is to split the routing and the WiFi management by using the Archer C9 (which I will move elsewhere) as an access point for a much smaller router.
