Depends on usage. If you don’t need super fast speeds or low latency, go for cheaper model.
If you need low latency and high speeds (ex. Wireless VR with PC), you need to pay more to get good and stable connection (+ multiple routers as mesh if needed).
And more expensive devices have different CPU/RAM which will help you if you have large network + extra security features on.
Who buys a $300 home wifi box? They’re $50-100
And also the router in the picture is actually a $500 wifi box.
