Any reason to go with the ET8 over this one? Or is this the better choice?

"In short, in a fully wireless setup, the ET8 proved to be complicated in my testing. Indeed, there was no scenario where it would outdo the XT8, a more straightforward solution, at least in the satellite's performance. However, if you use wired backhauls and have many 6GHz clients, the ET8 delivers better performance, as seen in the performance section below. And generally, the ET8 is more reliable since it doesn't use DFS channels at all."

Thinking in terms of our offices. Right now, I have hardwired cat6 to each office and a router setup as an AP for each floor. I'd still like to mesh the wifi though for seamless connections traveling with mobile devices from floor to floor.

Looks like it. When I got it yesterday it seemed like a one day code.
OK, thank you for the information. Right now we're actually using Asus X3000 wifi6 routers and it seems to be working OK but I haven't been able to get them to mesh when used as access points.
Most (all?) AP companies use a proprietary system to solve this problem (like AiMesh) but they often need to be on the same subnet, sometimes they need to be directly plugged into each other. It's reasons like this that consumer grade Wi-Fi doesn't really scale into large offices.

Thanks so much for the detail on all of this. I do feel like I would be better off with a "prosumer" type product like Ubiquiti or similar. Right now I have the SSID labeled separately but even when they were the same, I couldn't get them to mesh. They are indeed configured as access points.
Either way, I could not get the router access UI to let them mesh. I feel like it was asking one to be primary but I don't really want that. I want them all as satellites if that makes sense.

Modern WLAN marketing is quite confusing when it should really be simple. Back to basics, each AP is just a broadcast Ethernet domain. If just in L2 mode, each AP is basically an old fashioned hub, providing a broadcast domain to clients just as if they were plugged into it. It's up to the clients themselves to move to an AP with a better signal. When they move within the same subnet, they'll keep their IP address and router address. If different, they'll get new ones and all sessions (web/etc) will break.
Ubiquity and any true enterprise grade product often have less fancy features (except multiple VLAN, SSIDS etc) and often just more robust basics.
