Which video streaming router to choose?

The router must solve tasks (in addition to the standard ones - surfing and downloading):
1. High-quality reception / transmission of streaming video with a high load on the channel (bit rates can be about 10-15 Mb / s (in speed equivalent) for reception and 5-10 Mb / with transmission) while simultaneously from 2 - 3 computers;
2. work stably;
3. It is desirable to have Wi-Fi (or better 2-band).
Simple requirements, but among the zoo of modern solutions it is difficult to choose something specific.
Based on the requirements, I look towards processor power and RAM.
There were such options:
1. MIKROTIK RB951G-2HND about 5000r
2. NetGear R6200 about 5000r
3.ASUS RT-N56U is about 5000r and there are few of them on sale
4. MIKROTIK HAP AC 7000-8000r
From the list above, I tend to NetGear.
Take any from the list and not worry? Or is it all redundant solutions? Or insufficient?

It is not entirely clear what speeds we are talking about, "10-15 Mb / s" - is it megabytes or megabits?
I would say that it all depends on the type of connection to the uplink. Driving more than 100Mbit / s over some encrypted PPP will not be easy for many pieces of iron. But if you have static / DHCP, then most modern routers will easily pump up to 200 megabits.
Otherwise, streaming video is a wide channel + large packages, so there shouldn't be any problems.
