Wifi ethernet jack recommendation

I am setting up a new room and I have a long list of tasks. Rather than run Ethernet or fiber right now, I was thinking of using a wifi endpoint with an Ethernet jack. Several folks on the forum have stated that they work well. I may wire up later, but in the meantime, any recommendations for a specific model that you have used and works well for audio?

All the opinions are why I recommend using an analyzer first.  Really depends on your home's layout and where you live.  I don't have that many neighbors but for some reason all three of their routers like to sit on the first channel in each band.

Wifi can work well but apartment buildings and closely packed condos can pose challenges due to too many routers in the neighborhood.  Having at least a dual band router can help too.

Get a free Wifi analyzer for your phone or tablet to ensure the location you plan to use has a strong signal and that the channel your router is on is not congested by neighbors.
