Need help buying a 2nd router for home usage for around 2000

Hi everyone long time lurker here and finally decided to create an account.

I currently have Airtel 100Mbps broadband plan and using the airtel provided router with an old Tenda N300(got from previous wifi guy) for wifi on other floor. Tenda N300 only supports 2.4GHz network and the speed on that is pretty pathetic and nothing loads if more than 3 people start using internet at same time. So, I am looking to get a new router for around 2000 rupees and from what I can see the TP-Link AC1200 C6(around 2400) is most popular one but there are so many choices in 1500-2500 segment so there must be some other good choices so what is everyone else’s opinions.
Also how are other TP-Link routers that are prices under 2000? TP-Link AC1200 C54 is almost similar in specs with C6 - C54 having 300Mbps and C6 having 400Mbps. Is that difference worth spending 600-700 more when the wifi is just 100Mbps plan?

Thanks everyone in advance.

Archer C6 is the best choice around that price. C54 only support 10/100

Also Consider Tenda AC10 if there’s a big price difference
