I have an eero 7 mesh system. The modem they rent is a Eero 7 Max I think, but it’s a single unit so you’d still need to purchase some to make a mesh. I think it’s better to have a decent mesh than a single high power router tucked away in a corner of your house. Honestly, it’s more than I need, but I opted for it as a balance of speed/future proofing and coverage for the house. The speed is very good, it was a breeze to set up, and I’ve had no issues so far.
For mesh I like EERO. They also have 5 years of updates past when they discontinue an item. For example they are on the EERO 7. The EERO 2 is currently going for like 40 bucks on eBay and the updates are until 2030.
I just replaced my old Google router mesh from 2019 with Eero 7 mesh. The speeds are much faster but has less stability. I really took Google router for granted, we had zero connection issues. With Eero I have at least 3 connections issues a week to fix. Garage keypad, kids iPad, smart light
I use 4x eero 7 Pro and 2x standard eero 7 for bedrooms. The SQM is amazing for buffer-bloat.
5500 sq ft house. One eero 7. Works fine.
eero mesh, 3 pack, make sure you get more or less future proof your speed, suggested minimum eero 7 which can handle upto 2.5 Gbps ISP. Can ethernet between them or use wifi. Also can use older backward eero devices, or when you upgrade later on.
