1) Speed of service
2) Distance of device from node
3) Max transmit rate from node to device
If you're using a WiFi 5 device, and you have a WiFi 5 mesh system, it could be just as fast or faster. WiFi 6 devices will connect to a WiFi 6 router like this at a higher transmit rate, but depending on the distance from node to device, overall throughput could be lower than if it was connected to a closer WiFi 5 mesh node.
But if you have a WiFi 6 mesh system, that rules above all at this point in time. You get max coverage and max transmit rates. Hopefully you have at least Gigabit service from your ISP to take advantage of it, because you'll be ISP limited at anything 500Mbps or less (that's where WiFi 5 systems max out).

Tri-band is effective when you have many devices connecting together. Thinks of it as having traffic signals with fast and faster lanes.
However, it will not increase your wifi speed. It just manages many of your devices with various speeds work optimally without one slowing down the other.
Netgear routers are trash and will always be trash.
vs the other type with 4-8 or more antennas sticking up?
Currently using a tplink a2300
but it never gets updates and I wouldnt mind ditching the garage WAP.
my house is only 1200sq ft but internet is on second floor of a colonial with triangle on box type construction.. ie odd walls around it.
Current router does ok except at about a 45degree angle to my back deck.. So I would consider mesh.. but I torrent alot and dont want a router that chokes. Have about 20 devices on network.
Considering this one, mesh, full on PC router such as PFsense with 2 WAPs etc.
Internet is spectrum 440/22

This router- or rather, no residential router- has a 10Gbps uplink to the internet. And 2.5, ..is there a dual and a half fiber uplink? I don't know, but if you are hoping for routers to max out your lan speed, that is never going to happen. They always lag behind, because that's not what they're made for.
