I've used the S4 AC1900 trio (older but worked well), along with the X55 trio. Still Wifi 6 but decent coverage. The one failure was the Eero Mesh 6, stopped working but got a replacement set from Amazon and shipped the old set back. No problems since then.

Arris Surfboard and TP-Link Deco X-55.  I own both and they have been bulletproof.

Installed Deco x68s at my place, x55s at in laws, x55 pros at friends, and Linksys Velops at other friends, all hardwired, rock solid and roaming works flawlessly. All of them having 20-30+ clients.

Wireless backhaul is fine for 99% of people. Unless there's some specific reason you need the router, you can send it back. The mesh units offer most routing functions. Then it just depends on how much you want to spend and how big your space is. I would think 2 x55s would cover you well, but you might want 3 units to make sure. They're very easy to setup. Go from your modem to the mesh unit. 3 pack is 150 on Amazon right now. Doesn't work just send it back. But I've been using tplink mesh for about 8 years now and have had a great experience.

Depending on your budget, 3 tplink x20s or x55s should cover you. Hook 1 into your modem, and then you can simply plug them into an outlet and add them to your network. I wouldn't get anything that says "extender" and I see no reason for a "traditional" router anymore. I spent a bunch of money on one of the most "powerful" routers out there a few years ago in our 4000 sqft house and it was worthless. Discovered tplink mesh units and see no reason to change. 3 units in our new 2900 sqft house and we're covered all over the backyard and out to the street

I've had great success with deco mesh systems. I personally have been using them for about 8 years, currently using the be63's which are incredible. But I've installed several setups in friends and family's houses and they're a breeze to install, powerful, and are incredibly reliable. Not very sure why you'd want to spend more
