Tri-band 6E mesh units are just as bad as dual band mesh units because they either share the bandwidth with their clients or dynamically switch backhaul between the three bands with limitations of 6E (range) or 2.4 (speed). I went from Orbi WiFi 6 Tri-band and was getting excellent speeds with the dedicated backhaul until I switched to this 6E Tri-band from thinking the magic marketing word was Tri-band until I noticed speeds were slower because there's no dedicated backhaul (but at least the ability to turn off 6GHz as tri-band).

I'm too lazy to wire the AP's together, so I use the 6E as dedicated backhaul. 2600sq/ft two story house, averages about 400mbps/40mbps on all my clients. (My circuit is ~900/40).
I have one upstairs and two downstairs at opposite side of the house. These replace my old AMPLIFI-HD mesh system I bought ant the start of the pandemic, and the performance is almost double the throughput.
I don't need it.

The only major complaint I have is that there is absolutely no way to configure these with a web interface. You have to use the app. The web interface just displays some general info but to do anything you have to go into the app.
That said - the app is fairly nice. I was able to set up custom dns, pope (century link fiber), port forwarding, and dhcp reservations. You can also disable all lights on the router!
I'd buy it again and at this price I'm tempted to pick up 3 more to add some more or just keep spares on hand. Even stand-alone I think these would make a great home wireless router.
