I am looking for one that is 200 and under. Our wifi router died today and we are using a older wifi router one that is a few years old. Looking for one with longevity and durability. Whats your recommendations for me?

Get a mesh network instead. Google WiFi ones are 3 for $100. It gives you wider coverage over your whole house.

200 what? ARS, AUD, BSD, BBD, BMD, BND, CAD, KYD, CLP, COP, XCD, SVC, FJD, GYD, HKD, LRD, MXN, NAD, NZD, SGD, SBD, SRD, TVD, USD?

200 USD will give you a few options. 200 NZD, not so much.

TP-Link AX3000 ~$150. Excellent range, wifi6 and very reasonably priced

Fully second that…had an older tplink A7 that was fine for previous 200 mbps down speed tier, but simply flopped when upgraded to 800 mbps speed…installed the AX55 (AX3000) as primary router, and every device w/ gigabit NIC now records >900 mbps down. Couldn’t be more pleased for a $109 investment.

Maybe a AVM Fritzbox 7530 AX when they are available in your market.
AVM has software support for usually 10 years sometimes even more.
