Thanks for the clarifications.

Three things to consider when compairing between using a router with additional APs or using a single mesh system:

1. Your budget: You need to compare how much a "good router" will cost together with a number of APs, compared to the price of a single a mesh system (with one, two, three, ... staellites).

2. Features that you will get from the target router compared to what you get from the mesh system. You need a good router if you want more features. You need to compare this with the features that you will get from the mesh system. Orbi provides you with quite good set of router features.

3. How comfortable you are with configuring a custom network using separate router and APs, compared to the ease of configuring a mesh system centrally.

I hope that this helps! :)
