About 400 meters away i have the First gen and i get around 150-200mbits which for first gen i am ok with it.
I can only imagine that with the newest model i should be able to get more speed. I ordered the 6E, lets see.

Mesh router/extender units are a nice middle ground between wireless routers and business/enterprise access points with a dedicated(hardware or software) controller.
If you ever have expandability in mind, mesh units MAY be a better choice than a standard router. Of course, YMMV.

Now for your other comment the Pro model is actually the quickest one of them all so getting around 500Mbps is the average for that model, that's nowhere near competitive with new wireless systems that can get 800Mbps + and some that can push well over 1Gbps through wireless. The latest Pro model if I recall correctly was hitting around 600Mbps-700Mbps on average so pretty decent but not for the MSRP they want for it.
Finally your Wifi 6E model, get ready to be completely disappointed, every major review of that model said its performance is unstable and speeds slow well under the 500Mbps of your Pro model on average. In short the wifi 6E model is a complete dud, and depending whats wrong with it firmware alone might not be able to fix it, so buyer beware. For the price you spent on that 6E you could have got systems that deliver well over 1Gbps.

Your most price efficient would be the 2pack of TP-Link AX5700 from Costco, should cover around 3k square feet realistically with the 2 pack and its proven it can provide over wireless bandwidth sustained speeds of 1.4 Gbps with proper clients and settings. Its bigger brother the X90 version is identical performance with the addition of one extra internal antenna but honestly not worth the premium for one more antenna. The customization and usability including the add on security subscription all very similar to eero.
If you want more customization and still utilize those full 1Gbps speeds Asus AiMesh your best option, but also one of the most costly. Two Asus RT-AX86U (Not to be confused with the S model) should be all you need to hit around 1.2Gbps through wireless bandwidth and still offering tons of customization and free online security protection.
I excluded the Wifi 6E stuff cause its priced pretty high and honestly I think its a dud personally, but can include a few if you really want 6E technology. The Uni 4 band unlock in future and some existing router will be more beneficial than wifi 6E in my opinion looking at tests.
