Netgear RBK50v
The Netgear orbi rbk50v is currently on sale for $199 on amazon and Netgear website. Is this still a capable router or is it outdated? Should I look at other routers instead of this router?

Thank you for the info, this would be my first mesh network to purchase so I wanted to make sure I get something I can use for a few years comfortably. What do you use for router?

I bought Ubiquiti Unifi Dream Machine and an additional Unifi NanoHD access point. Read about UDM here: https://dl.ubnt.com/ds/udm_ds
UDM is a new product from Ubiquiti that combines the good stuff from the Unifi line into one physical unit (like any router :smileywink:).
The UDM might be overkill, but I must say I really like everything; the app, the web interface, the speed and the reliability so far (knock on wood).
