They also have the 3-pack of Eero 6 routers available for $226 with Prime Day savings [amazon.com].
Note that this is not the standard 3-pack which includes 1 router and 2 extenders (which have no wired backhaul), but 3 routers which each have two gigabit ethernet ports so you can have wired backhaul.
This is the cheapest price I've seen for these. Normal price is $350, and they're occasionally on sale for $279.

I am currently using a Netgear R7800 (Nighthawk X4S) router, with stock firmware that is always at least one firmware release prior to their current firmware version. It is at the far wall where fiber internet comes into the house. The house is 2200 sq feet. My Arlo Ultra 2 camera on the opposite side of the house (through two interior walls and one exterior, about 140 feet direct distance) often shows low wifi connection (as per the Arlo app, who knows what this actually means)
So, I thought maybe a mesh setup would improve the situation. In the past I played around with the AT&T version of the Asus AC68U router that was a common sighting on Slickdeals for $40 and had good results creating a mesh network, I had 3 of them going and got great speeds everywhere on the property, though I always suspected it was overkill. It seems from your comments that perhaps this is not necessary and with proper router settings my R7800 should do the job.
Do you have any links to webpages that describe how to configure a router for maximum range? You said " Learn how to adjust the spread and map where your signals are strongest." .. I used a phone app for this in the past, do you recommend a PC software or other method?
Thanks again!
There are a lot of basic rules to how to set it up and then everyone has their barn of tricks. Reddit is a good source a lot of the time. I do not have any links because they really need to be particular to your router. Different companies use different technology to enhance the strengths of their product and hedge the weaknesses. What I usually do is I will save my current setup. I will try different scenarios & tweaks II run across and worst case I just go back to my original settings from backup.
Doesn't matter what you use to analyze your network as long as it's accurate. Smartphones have a tremendous amount of capability. The biggest pitfall is using an app from someone who designed the app just as a cash grab and it's not what it's described as being.
One thing stands out to me ... Why not place your router more centrally?

Starting June 8, 2021 many Amazon devices will automatically allow user's WIFI to be shared at a low band width with neighbors. User must "opt out" of Sidewalk (at a device level) if they prefer NOT to share bandwidth.

I have been using it for over 2 years and love it. I am not a tech savvy person, there are so many videos on youtube that will help you get started.
There are also other free firewalls like PFSense and opensense that are way better than the security services offered by any of these mesh router companies.
Hope this helps. Feel free to PM me if you need help. I can send you the YouTube videos I followed to install piHole
