Well,
judging by your e-mail address you are from Germany.
Check your local magazines for some reviews (C't might be one).
If you really think you can get a 1Gbit stream via Wifi you
are fantazing. If you have a decent router connect via cable.
And if you are connecting multiple machines invest in
a decent switch.
Your best guess to get high throughput whicg doesn't
degrate in real life (other AP in the area, multiple
clients...) is wifi 6. There are not many available,
and even less devices available for a linux machine,

While I use a ubiquity AP, I do not recomment those.
In most cases you are stuck with their managing software
or some Apps on Android/ios.
It's not an issue here , because wifi is mainly for
the Misses' ipad. I ran cat6 cable when we bought the 
place.
