WiFi Home Upgrade - Need Advice on Routers vs Mesh - Want WiFi6

Question

I have a 6,000 sq ft home, with three floors of 2,000 sq ft.

I previously installed about eight WiFi access points that were all routers as well. Of these 8 about 5-6 are also used for wired connections (they are placed alongside and have a hard wire connection to TV's).

I want to upgrade my WiFi Network to WiFi6 and make it as fast as possible, so it lasts for the next 5 years.

Do the Mesh devices also include hard wire connections, or will I need to buy more routers that have hard wire connections.

Please advise.

Yes, the MESH Extenders or Satellites have ethernet ports on the back of each.&nbsp;
