I love Netgear and I think they are the best consumer grade networking products company by far.
But they dropped the ball big time in Orbis firmware updates and asinine support, or lack thereof.
Seriously, read their forums. Thank me later. Rep me now.
I have the Linksys MX8400C from Costco and while it started out great, firmware updates seem to cause more problems than they fix, so I'm hesitant to recommend Linksys. That said, plenty of people complain about Orbi too.

You're very smart. Thank you for letting me know. I will definitely buy a 6E router so that in 3 years with devices support it, I'll be all set! Just like you, I have a hundred live devices on my network at a time and need the wider pipeline because facts, that's why.
This router mesh set for this price is a pass, its extremely slow no matter how you hook it up, one of the slowest of all the mesh kits out there currently. There are better alternatives, like the TP-LINK Triband X68 if you want a 3 pack or like I mentioned earlier the AX5700 from the same brand but a 2 pack.
Also a lot of people who dont know anything about Wifi6E here most of the time when your getting a new wifi 6E router you will be using WIFI 6 and not 6E unless your always in the same room as your router. The frequency is extremely short and does not do well with walls or obstructions, so Wifi 6E is a bust for almost everyone that does not sit right next to their router or is always in the same room. Not even the Wifi 6E mesh kits that currently came out use the 6E for backhaul cause its just not possible so they revert to Wifi 6.
So please enough with the Wifi 6E cause too many of you are way uneducated about it.
If you want a greater degree of control and still able to use your full 1.2Gbps connection your next option would be to go with a standalone router the Asus RT-AX86U and you would have to get 2 of them and setup their AiMesh with wired backhaul if one single router is not enough to cover your home, to be clear you would be paying up the nose for the ability to tinker which 99% of users never have to do if you end up getting two of them. The RT-AX86U on the high side hits about 1250Mbps and on the low side around 1050 Mbps so it would be pretty close to maxing out your 1.2Gbps, your next options would increase costs by almost double so going to stop here.
Amazon price for a single AX5300 unit is $267. That suggests this is a Slick Deal as far as price . This is $330 for three units.

Then I did some debug and found that the routing was the issue, so I grabbed an ER-X and put the velop into bridge mode. Everything has been cake since then, these are great access points but terrible routers.
Before switching to fiber optic , I had cable internet supplier and used ARRIS SURFboard SBG7400AC2 DOCSIS 3.0 Cable Modem & AC2350 Dual-Band Wi-Fi Router as my router. I connected it to the linksys mesh units same as above (two with Ethernet cable and one wireless) . Never had a problem with that set up either.
The wifi speed was totally dependent on my type of internet service . It was 100 mbps with cable internet and around 500 mbps with fiber optic. Speed is consistent no matter where I am in the house , which is a primary advantage of mesh system from what I understand.
Someone above said these Linksys mesh stations max out at 500 mpbs. I only pay for 500 mpbs, so I can't comment . However , I wonder whether the lower speed could be related to the ISP? Or possibly, should you be using a separate router and just use the Linksys mesh units for Wifi?
