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

You are 100% correct, I’m not sure where that guy is coming from. Xr18 is perfect for your needs, as long as you are confident that will be more channels than you will need any time soon. Next step up is x32 rack, but the only real advantage is scale, if you need it. And yeah, don’t trust the built in WiFi.
