Which is the ideal mesh system/setup to extend my current Nighthawk (RAX120) – AX6000 setup?
I currently got a Nighthawk (RAX120) – AX6000 that fully attend my demands but I am moving to a 3 floor house and I understand I will need a mesh system to further extend my network range. What is t...
I could definetely spread some Ethernet cables to some rooms in different floors.
By that you imply that maybe just some access points could be enough instead of mesh?
Ouch. That concrete/brick will be a headache/problem for any device.
any chance its ran with ethernet or coax?
a 1500 sq ft floor is a large space and if it has multiple brick/conrete walls, its definitely going to be a challenge for 1 device to cover a whole floor.
It might be worth waiting until you move in and testing the RAX120 to see how well it covers a single floor. That'd at least give you an idea of coverage

I closed by mistake, I'd be willing to hear further details or suggestions

I would still use a mesh system. Reason why is a mesh system allows both wired and wireless backhauls.
That allows more options though with the wired backhaul. for example, the nighthawk mesh (mk62 or more) is a dual band AX1800 system but when running with wireless backhaul is much slower. But with a dedicated backhaul, the full speed can be used for fronthaul. Or the AX orbis main diffrence between rbk852 and rbk752 is the backhaul. A dedicated backhaul lets you use a cheaper system and maintain throughput.
