This kind of product makes little sense to me. If you just want coverage have a lot of cheap mesh devices. If you want 6GHz speed you can't get it from a device that is limited to 5GHz for the "mesh backhaul."

Good luck.
To improve reliability and range you need to prevent signal interference. You can do that by using a WiFi 7 router with 6GHz support (since 2 and 5GHz can get interference from non-wifi devices). You can place your router where it is not close to large metal appliances (e.g. refrigerator) that can block the signal. And you can buy a device with a large number of high powered antennas. If you're advanced you can use a phone app to find channels in the WiFi bands that don't have much interference and set your device to use those.
If your problem is that you have too many devices or too many connections, it might be running out of memory tracking everything, so look for a device with a lot of RAM (1GiB or more).
Spec sheets don't always give full details on things like antenna range, but sometimes they kind-of tell you by saying a router is good for more square footage.
Regarding brands: advanced users tend to prefer Ubiquiti. Most home users go with Asus, Netgear, or TP-Link. If you are not having luck with Asus you might want to look into Netgear.
Best of luck!
