I've used lots of different systems.
RBK750, RBK50, RBK43, SXK30
And router plus extenders,
RAXE500, RAX200, CAX80 (plus more).
I still end up going back to the mesh systems. Not the RBK750 system but to my SXK30 system that i have setup with a wired backhaul.
the business side tends to be more stable and you can modify more systems.
I usually use a router like the RAXE or RAX200 as the primary and set the mesh up in access point mode for overall coverage.
That way I can have something with peak performance (close to it) but yet cover my whole home and part of the outdoors.
Gets a bit spendy but it works well for me.
I've tried it with just the flagship routers and extenders but you don't have as smooth of roaming.
