We have a 5  bedroom home and the wireless access point is to be wired with ethernet to the 2nd story.

The home is full brick and hence challenging with teenage kids complaining about wifi black spots.

The wireless router just needs to be suitable for a groudn floor with full brick walls, 3 bedrooms, large living area etc.

You have brick walls internal to your house? ouch, thats going to cause a lot of blocked signals. If you look at signal propagation through brick/concrete, its not good. 

I like to recommend orbi's because they work so well.  In this case, orbi's might be kind of expensive for what they'll accomplish plus the wireless backhaul will probably struggle with the blocked signals. It really doesn't matter how great of a AP you have when it comes to brick and concrete because they block so much. A mesh network would still be ideal but you'd be better off to go a cheaper mesh network and have multiple AP's placed around instead of 2 high powered ones. If you can hardwire them in for wired backhaul you'll do much better as well.
