Most versatile flexible router for UFB

This will be another of those 'what should I buy' posts, but I do know some of my requirements.

Getting UFB (with Bigpipe) installed in a couple of weeks - just the 100/20 plan to begin with.

Have an existing TP-Link TD-W8968 which looks like it will initially work ok - but its only single band wifi and wont support higher UFB speeds if I increase the plan speed.

Thinking I would like something reasonably future proof if possible:

Can be easily purchased (some of the devices GZ users have seem to be import only models) - or tell me who sells it

Dual band wifi

Good coverage for a 2 story house (yes I realise this is absolutely subjective, but...)

Support VLAN tagging - but can be switched off (Bigpipe dont use VLAN tagging but others do if I ever change - Or should I ignore this)

Ideally have a straightforward way of redirecting DNS lookup traffic (all port 53 UDP to an unblocker DNS for example) rather than just blocking

Around $200 ish price range - suggest away if its more but I can dream cant I?

I am not a Netflix user, but do access other content and am aware other providers may start getting crankier about geo-blocking - hence (5)

I had my eye of the TP-Link Archer C2 or even the C7, but neither appear to support (4) or (5) but look really good on the other points.
