I currently use a Nighthawk R8000 in the main house and feed a Netgear R6400 in the guest house via MoCA 2.0 (2x Actiontek ECB6200). It does pretty well with wireless, and has no trouble handling gigabit (when Mediacom works).

I've wanted to switch to a mesh setup for a while now, especially to not have several separate wifi networks. I've been checking out the Netgear Orbi, particularly because of its dedicated wireless channel for the backhaul. It would be nice to improve the coverage outside between the houses.

I have the netgear orbi system and its been the best system I have had so far... Firmware updates have been on par with other router companies since its a mesh system...

I went with a PF sense mini PC system with the UniFi eight port switch POE and a ubiquity AP AC Pro feeding a 700 square-foot apartment when my friends come over it typically handles the 10 devices and doesn’t even blink
