Happy to share but the setup is a bit convoluted. I am using equipment by Ubiquiti for the router and the wireless access point. The router I am using was also recommended by Steve Gibson and then I came across a post on the Ubiquiti forum of a person who has written an extensive guide available on GitHub and covers how to configure the router, its firewall and the WAP. I would have been lost without the guide. I also ended up replacing all of our unmanaged switches with managed switches by TP-Link that are VLAN-aware but that isn't necessary unless you want to pass VLAN traffic over the wired network.
The router I am using is called the EdgeRouter X. I paid around $50.

The WAP I am using is the Unifi AP AC Pro. It supports up to 8 SSIDs per radio and it is strong enough to cover our house which is about 3400 sq ft. I paid around $130.

The guide is available here and is quite extensive. I had to go through the process a couple of times as it is complicated as I previously said. But now that it is set up, the network has been rock solid.

Where I used to have to reboot our Airport Extreme Base Station every couple of weeks, I have gone months between reboots of the system and the only reason I reboot is as part of the process to apply firmware updates.
Good luck!
