It depends your necessity but If you want a reliable and secure router is a good option a router that is compatible with OpenWRT for example.
Firewalla is also great if you want most things setup for you.
Off the shelf something like and EdgerouterX is great,
Raspberry Pi 4 with a UE300 and OpenWrt can comfortably do 1 gig with SQM. I don't know if it's the most cost effective way to do it but it's one way and it's working well in 3 setups I'm looking after.
