BTW, this is much faster than crappy Google mesh system, including the newest one (I used nest mesh for few months before getting M9 Plus). Two of my extended family are still using M9 Plus and it still work flawless for them.
You are expected to get around 550 to 600 Mbps on the main router (YMMV based on your wireless interference). If you wire the satellites they will also get you same sped. Otherwise speed will be based on wireless link speed. And M9 plus has tri band. So even wireless linking works flawlessly. I was pulling close to 400Mbps in my office and on very far end of the house I was pulling about 250Mbps.

If you are into IT and need more features, then likely this might not be for you to be able to run syslogs, put data off, etc. This is KISS. Plus, how can one not like Costco return policy. I have not used others Mesh, cant compare but for $200 this was a great deal when i got it.
Any important to go with a WiFi 6 compared to WiFi 5? Will it be obsolete ?

M9 plus from Costco with wired back haul. Don't try this at home, you will be disappointed in your results.

You can update via app or web interface.
No method of manual channel selection.
All of the mesh devices use the same channels as all other ones, not just for the 3rd backhaul band which is required to be on the same channel. No, mesh networks, roaming or fast roaming (802.1k/v/r) does not require all APs be on the same channel, they should not be for best experience and least interference.
Control of devices only through the phone app.
Backhaul 3rd wireless band appears to stay up and active as a "hidden" SSID taking up channel space even when using in all wired backhaul mode.
Positives been using a 3 pack in house in AP only mode wired backhauled with no issues and very stable. Can't speak for using them in router mode. I've had some issues with fast roaming on some things but that is devices specific, not the fault of the M9 specifically.
