SOLVED!! I went to Best Buy and got an eero 6 mesh router. Easiest setup ever. It took 15 minutes using the phone app. Every TV, computer, phone and BT speaker accessed the network immediately, and we've had zero problems!

Everything I've been reading is recommending Google wifi 6, mesh routers. Either the AC1200 or the Nest. What do you thing?

I tend to push triband versus dual band. when you're using a single/dual band device and using mesh, the satellites take a significan throughput hit.
so if you're going to go with mesh, I'd look for a triband device.

Thanks for the advice. You've been great! I'm on a bit of budget, ($250 that I would hate to push to $300) so any reccomendations on a specific TP-Link or Asus? I have a four story home, so do I still need satellites on the two furthest away floors? If you had my budget, what would you buy?
Thanks!

You'd be better to ask on one of those forums. This is for netgear devices.
For that budget, i usually recommend the RBK43 thats been renewed. Makes it in the price range and is a solid system.

I've seen RBK50s for around $250-300 in ATT phone stores...

Not buying anything from Netgear ever again. Thanks though.

Can't give my hard earned money to Netgear after the experience I just went through. Thanks though.
