Number of devices connected to WiFi: 20+

Budget: ~RM500, but flexible

Hi, would like to seek your advice for a new router. Just changed to Maxis Fibre 500 Mbps package, and was provided with the KAONMEDIA AR2140 and a Deco M4R (2-pack). The KAON router worked very well with almost no downtime at all, but failed after a month or so. Got the Maxis technician to come and they replaced it with a Huawei LG8245X6. The Huawei router doesn't seem able to support the amount of devices, with packet loss and lag spikes for 2-3 minutes every hour or so.

Don't need super wide coverage, as it will be covered by the Deco M4, just need a stable router that can handle the large amount of devices.
The budget of RM500 is flexible and can top up if worth it. Thanks in advance for any suggestions!

Is the LG8245X6 better than C5V in term of stability and range based on your experience? I registered for interest in KAON router since they announce existing user will get replacement, but no response till now. Can't change to custom router since I'm still using the dect phone and no space to use bridge mode. I'm open to any other suggestion too.
