I don't think you will be happy with AiMesh.
I have three ASUS devices and I try each new firmware release.
They don't last very long before I swicth back to somehing else.
The Velops used to be fairly good but lately they get kicked out in favour of the Orbis within a day or two.
People have spoken very highly of Google mesh devices and I suspect the Ubiquiti Amplifi HD mesh devices are fairly good too but I don't have any of these.
But, now that I've identified the settings to leave off for me to have a stable network, I'm staying with the Orbi for a while.
From what I have seen in the forums what works for me likely doesn't work for others and I believe many of the problems people have are due to one or more particular devices that don't play well with the Obi. Consequently Netgear must play "wait for Qualcomm to fix it" game that takes a long time, not that Netgear are all that quick at fixing things either, a double gotcha.
Did you factory reset the Orbi system and setup from scratch after loading v32? Try this next time when you upgrade. This clears out possible problems after upgrading FW. Others are reporting good operation after ugprading to v32 and doing a factory reset and setup from scratch.
