I am planning on purchasing the best wireless routing equipment I can find to us with my Charter Spectrum service, since I have had serious issues with the wireless router I rent from them. My home ...

Try plugging your details into these places.

Then check back here for reports on the things you are considering, but remember that people turn up in this community with problems, not compliments. So look at reviews on Amazon, for example.
You don't say how fast the Internet connection is. Might be a useful extra detail. Lots of streaming there, especially if they are all running at the same time.
Forgot to mention that it's a 2 story home running on an internet connection of 500m speed. Thinking about increasing to 1g.
I would first try a Orbi 7 or 8 series. I have 1Gb here. Both work great.

I have around that area and while a single flagship router can cover it, at the peripheral, the speeds drop quite a bit.
You might not have the same peak speed out of a mesh solution (other than the RBKE963 series), you get a lot better coverage.
And most devices don't need peak speed. That's for if you're moving massive data sets/backups/etc. Even streaming 4k only takes 25-40mbps. So if you have great coverage throughout, its better than spotty in areas.
Hmm Agreed.
