Orbi Pro WiFi 6 Mini AX1800 WiFi System

I have the orbi wifi 6 mini business edition. Works great.

Any 3 pack wifi 6, 6e, or 7 mesh system (6 is perfectly fine and the cheapest). Orbi, Eero, Tp link 3 pack prolly around $400 to start I had Orbi wifi 6 (3 pack) for years and it’s been rock solid for a family of 4. I went to wifi 7 and wow the speeds are insane. Would recommend at least wifi 6. Don’t worry about your devices.

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. 

My opinion. Asus aimesh. I have tried TP Link X50 but they spend more time offline than on. Orbi is superb however its too rigid. One router and 2 satellites doesnt like bridge mode or AP Mode. I moved to Asus with RT-BE92U as router and XD4 mini access points. Router mode, AP mode both work well. Versatility of being able to use most of their routers interchangeably as access points. There are downsides. Asus mesh doesnt seem to like IoT devices for smart home. Speakers, bulbs etc. Haven't tried Ubiquiti which a lot of people absolutely praise. If it was within my budget I would try it. Comes down to budget. If you can afford it. Ubiquiti by all accounts. Asus is a great option, Orbi is good if you use it as they want you to. TP Link for me is budget friendly but I think you would end up replacing it and spending again.

I don't know. Mine is ethernet backhaul. I have them running on the separate IoT ssid that Asus provide and that is on 2.4ghz frequency only. Its just seems to be certain branded bulbs it doesn't like. I was looking at hubs like Homey Pro. Not sold on them yet though.

I use a Netgear Orbi Mesh system with a router and satellite, super easy to set up and very reliable! Unifi is great but not as user friendly in my experience.
