Which Orbi Mesh Router is right for me?

Question

Mainly looking at the RBK65x vs 75x vs 85x.

I have appx 2000 sqft single story house, whole HomeKit setup (2 Apple TVs, 5 HomePods, Lutron Hub with 20 switches connected, Hue with 5 connected, 2 Eufy HomeBase 2s with 3 cameras total, Aqara hub with 5 devices connected.

My plan is 1Gbps.

I’m thinking I need 2, probably not 3 nodes. I’m switching from the Linksys Velop AX4200 it registers 900 download from my modem (Arris SurfBoard SB6190) but only transmits ~200 when right in front of it, and 20 when 10ft in front of my furthest node.

All advice welcome!

At the most you need 1 extra satellite. (unless your home is made of brick interior walls).&nbsp;
You can have to many satellites and cause roaming issues.&nbsp;
You might even be find with a single router solution if you can centrally locate it.&nbsp;
