These days I only use the system as an access point with the AX-3000 as the brain. OPNsense is now my firewall and router. The ASUS system is well thought out and adaptable. Good quality for consumer grade.
I actually run the three cubes powered by PoE with Revodata PoE extractors from Amazon.
More Stable WiFi with Wired Connections between ZenWiFi Hubs
If you have Ethernet ports in your walls, you can set ZenWiFi AX Mini to use Ethernet backhaul, reserving all WiFi bands for your wireless devices for even more stable and reliable networking

Dual band is referring to a third WiFi band dedicated for backhaul, and actually doesn't have anything to do with WiFi 6. The third band for backhaul allows for more bandwidth in total; it's like having another WiFi network just for the nodes to talk to eachother and pass data.
Wireless backhaul is convenient and used by many, but for the most solid WiFi network should be avoided whenever possible. Wired backhaul is always better, faster, and more reliable, but you have to plug each node into an ethernet port for "wired" backhaul. If you cannot do wired backhaul than this mesh system is not the best choice for you unless your WiFi network has very little demand and load. Since this is dual band, it really should be run with wired backhaul.
My home is two floors with full basement (approx 3600 sq ft for everything). My modem is in the basement and I was considering running one down there wired to a second in the staircase ceiling then a third on the second floor office using wireless (connected to second if possible). I plan on plugging directly in to give my work computer the best possible connection. Would the cheaper one from this thread make sense over the Deco?
Also, coming from a Netgear Nighthawk AC1900 which I think I'm over saturating with devices. About 55 total which 30 are normally connected.
Any help is appreciated.

I get that you can't avoid Chinese manufactured products in general, but this is more about software control. So I'd personally avoid tp-link personally, as much as they are supposedly very good.

I haven't run across anything saying yes or no for compatibility yet, anyone else have a similar setup they are running?
