Help me choose a new home router

I pay for 500mbps dl and 10mbps upload (not sure I always get that tho)
My current old router is a Netgear Nighthawk R6700v2, wanna say it's around 6 years old
Situation at home is this: 1800sq, one main tv next to the modem/router. This is where the majority of our streaming happens. I had my tv plugged straight into the router with an ethernet cord but something seems to be wrong with the port now and I can only use wifi. Daughter streams in the far back room and has never really had any issues with current set up. Have a Peleton in another room that I have on the 5g channel cause it never worked well on the regular channel. When my ISP is not acting up everything works fine so I don't think I need a huge upgrade on the router I'm just not sure what new tech is out.

What's your budget?
How many wired/wireless connection's do you typically have in the house?
Any smart home devices other than your TV? (Devices that only operate on the 2.4 ghz network.)

no advice on the router, but seeing that above line i'd recommend getting a coax surge protector. i typically hardwire internet to what i can and i lost so many ethernet ports on various devices before i realized i needed to protect the coax line from surges.
