With Wifi 7, they also have quad band routers, have you thought about that? Netgear Orbi RBE973S, TP-Link Deco B95 (I have this one, it's been pretty good but overall like Orbi better), Asus ROG Rapture GT-BE98 Pro

I bought (2) Asus GT BE98 Pro's and use one of them as a Node. They are hardwired...I live in a single level 2,500 square ft home. I have a Samsung Ultra 24 which is Wifi-7 capable. I have a cable 2gb internet package. I get anywhere from 1,450mbs to 1,800mbs depending on time of day ( the more neighbors that are online the less i get) anywhere I go in my home. I get about 900 download outside of my home at around 25ft...at 50ft 450 download...at 75ft 200 download.. To be honest I'm not sure if this us the best I can get as far as signal strength and speed Im thinking about trying the Asus BQ16 mesh system to see if it has better download speeds.

Really liked my Asus rog WiFi mesh system. Just upgraded my home internet and the Eero 7 max wifi router mesh system is pretty good too, easy setup.

I hated the WiFi 6 Orbi system I bought. It was lacking so many fairly basic features, such as QoS, firmware updates breaking basic functionality, and a very lackluster app-focused experience.  I replaced it with an ASUS WiFi 7 system comprised of a RoG router with two Zen nodes and it’s been a lot more solid with far more configuration options than I’ve ever seen on a residential router.  Maybe the Orbi WiFi 7 line has solved their earlier issues, but I’ll never buy one again based on my prior experience.

Not troubleshooting, but there’s a lot of configuration options that might require playing with things if you’re not a pro. Do I want MIMO? Should I configure an IoT network? There’s a lot of things it suggests to do but doesn’t really hold your hand in explaining why you should set them up.  In my case, I’ve done a lot of testing to try to reduce latency to portable gaming devices, but it can still be kind of opaque what’s going on. But generally, the basics work find out of the box.

Got rid of my shitty nest wifi pro and bought a wifi 7 Asus aimesh network setup. Light years ahead and can reliably stream my PC at over 100mbps over wifi. So can do the portal with ease whereas the nest could not
