Looking for recommendation - Mesh network

What is the size of your home? Sq Ft?
30 feet or more is recommended in between RBR and RBS to begin with depending upon building materials when wirelessly connected. https://kb.netgear.com/000036466/How-far-should-I-place-my-Orbi-satellite-from-my-Orbi-router

Do you have support or AX wifi?

Orbi AX doesn't have a outdoor satellite at this time. Orbi AC system does, RBS50Y which works outdoors.

I'm just looking for a simple mesh solution.  

I need at least one device that is outside however.   All the orbi packages etc are all inside devices.

I'm not a networking guy -  just looking to plug in some things that will work and I get  a simple ubiquotous network inside/olutside the home which allows me to conenct and stream to our indoor AVR from the pool , etc..

If you have an inside area near the pool, you would not need an outdoor device. Depending on what system you decide on, the router or satellite will have great WIFI coverage. I do not have any outside units and my pool gets great WIFI coverage from a mesh satellite 30 feet away. 

Choosing your system is going to depend on the size and layout of your home. And when looking, don't be fooled by the Up To WIFI sq footage coverage. A lot of variables in the home will diminish those figures.
