Looking to upgrade my Orbi mesh system for 7500+ square feet
Currently I have my OrbiRBR50v2 set up as my Router going directly to Verizon Wi-Fi. I no longer use their modem. My satellites, 3 of them, RBS50 are wireless. This covers approx. 6000+ square feet, but this system is old and spotty. Would like to upgrade the system. Does anyone have any recommendations for an updated mesh system (I am okay with Orbi or any other suggestions), that can be used as a Router going directly to Wifi. I do not want to use a Verizon modem. Any suggestions or success anyone has had would be appreciated.

I'd look at Dong Ngo's reviews. He does a great job and doesn't get sponsorship or anything from it.
here's his wifi 6 list:

and the wifi 7 list:

Keep in mind, those lists aren't all inclusive. He leaves out a lot of the flagship devices (like orbi's RBE973) because of cost. Its a balanced list.
