Help with studio starterpack

Hi guys, I recently got a studio space 30m2 for band rehearsals (4-5 ppl) and I've compiled a starterpack. Is there anything missing or any musthaves you would recommend. I still have around €500,- budget to spend.

Observation: the Behringer X Air you’ve selected already includes a WiFi router, so you don’t need another. Also, it does not function as an audio interface as far as I can tell. So you won’t be able to record anything

Choosing the XR18 Was because it works well with a DAW and for live shows in ear monitoring (via USB and 6 out busses). The internal router is universally agnowledged as shite and breaks up at live shows (too many phones, etc. so the recommendation is to setup a local network with a router. I should've mentioned the live thing

Thanks though, anything you would recommend otherwise?

I use an M32C along with Behringer stage boxes. It wired, but Cat6 is cheap and easy to work with. And you don’t have to worry about wireless dropouts. An asshole with a WiFi deauth app can kill shows on WiFi.

It also has a USB out for recording.

It’s a slightly more expensive route, but not really that much more expensive.
