So...really? The "Best Router for Most People" category is pushing a $140 router? Sorry, but despite my love of gaming, my primary Internet usage falls under this category, yet I do not need most of the features on this router:
-- 600Mbps (2.4GHz band) or even 1500Mbps (5GHz band)? Sorry, but I'm going to run out of Internet speed (100Mbps connection from Spectrum) well before my WiFi devices hit that threshold. And the most bandwidth-using purpose any of my devices have is watching Netflix or Amazon Video (Roku stick/box). I don't transfer files in between our tablet/smartphones, our laptops, & our main desktop PC...& wireless printing (when we use it) to our inkjet doesn't come close to using the bandwidth.
-- Range? Seriously? Yeah, I understand that my 960 square foot house might be considered a bit on the slow side, but when they built it back in the 1950s they put a lot of metal inside -- metal reinforcing wires in the walls, all of the original interior doors are metal, etc. -- so a little stronger of a signal can be nice. But our current router gives me 2 out of 3 bars on my smartphone out to the detached garage (about 50-60 feet from the router), so I don't need more range than I already have. And neither do most people.
If anything, that Archer C7 would have been a better pick as the "router for most people"...because most people aren't going to be comfortable spending that much money for a router just so that they can avoid using their smartphone data plans at home.
