If you want a turn-key solution that doesn't get into the weeds, go with a [TP-Link XE75](https://www.bestbuy.com/product/tp-link-deco-xe75-pro-axe5400-tri-band-wi-fi-6e-whole-home-mesh-system-3-pack-white/J39QK2QCVK/sku/6508223), [Eero 6E Pro](https://www.bestbuy.com/product/eero-pro-6e-tri-band-mesh-wi-fi-6e-system-3-pack-white/J39QV82L2X/sku/6495778) or [Eero 7 Pro](https://www.bestbuy.com/product/eero-pro-7-tri-band-mesh-wi-fi-7-system-3-pack-white/J39HW6RKK3). Hardwired is best no matter what you buy, but a tri-band mesh will be fine for most people. Don't get a dual band setup unless you're running ethernet to your nodes. Ubiquiti is the ultimate setup with a price tag to match and endless ways to tweak and break your setup if you're not IT knowledgeable. Consider hiring this out if you wouldn't be comfortable tweaking settings. For example, Apple Airplay does not work out of the box until you enable group rekey interval for wifi>security in the Ubiquiti console.
Just grabbed a eero Pro 7 with my Aussie Broadband plan
I have 2G/2G Fiber Internet I just got this one and couldn't be happier.

The eero stuff has good Wi-Fi, but no good wired support.
Eero is reasonably priced and works well for me. Also some echo devices act as extensions
We went the overkill route for our 2200 sq ft 4 bedroom 2-1/2 bath house. We have a Eero Pro 7 downstairs in the living room serving as the gateway Eero. Upstairs we have two Eero Pro 7, and one Eero Pro (5?) in 3 of our 4 bedrooms. The two Eero Pro 7's are in our sons' rooms, so they can connect their computers to the Eero via ethernet. Downstairs at the back of the house, there is another Eero Pro that is hooked up in the family room predominantly to allow the wireless control of our swim spa in the backyard to connect to it. The Eero Pro 7 in the living room replaced an Eero Pro 6 that used to be used as our gateway Eero. FWIW, when we are driving to/from our house, the WiFi can connect when you are about 500 feet away from our house. Also, when we were using the Eero Pro 6 as our gateway, our top download speeds on the gateway connection to our cable modem hovered around 850 Mbps. Since switching to the Eero 7 Pro, our top download speeds are now around 1.26 Gbps.
We bought an Eero system (one primary, two “beacons”) when we bought our house and signed up with NextLight in 2018. We had some problems in the spring, so we upgraded our Eeros to two Eero 7 Pros. They’re great. Most devices are 2x faster just by swapping out our system. Eero is dead-simple to set up and there’s just about zero management.
