I use a Ubiquiti Edge Router X which probably has 30+ things connected with no issue. I've never really considered how it allocates bandwidth but I guess that's a sign that it works well.
Bear in mind though that this is only a router and doesn't do wi-fi. I've got a ubiquiti access point for that and, again, never really noticed an issue.
There are a lot of settings for manually/smart allocating bandwidth ranging from the simple to the I've no idea what this does.

After getting frustrated at webex/zoom/meet/hangouts/teams/whatever dropping every 15mins, I recently decided to switch the Virgin home-hub to modem mode and get a new router.
I've a quite a few IoT devices connected (about 20 - my alarm sensors account for most of this) plus 4 TVs/laptops. I get an average of 350mb from Virgin.
In a rush, I bought the Netgear Nighthawk R8000P in the hope it would better bandwidth across a number of devices, it advertises 55. I'm now immediately regretting it, not only does it struggle with the number of devices (my doorbell regularly loses connection) & offers very little in way of settings to manage bandwidth allocation, but it also looks like something a teenager would rub themselves against while playing CoD.
Is there a forum approvedTM router that would a) handle multiple devices and allocate bandwidth in a sensible fashion and b) doesn't require me to be CCNP certified?
