I ended up buying another Satellite which is 3 now with the router for a total of 4. It still has a few spots in the house that are a little slower around 300 mbps here and there. I can walk ten steps forward and get 900 mbps. I am glad I went with this System, but I really don't understand the mesh bad spots. There is mostly good wifi coverage throughout the home now for which I am thankful. I was able to run a cable to the last Satellite I purchased and that really seems to be the ticket.

All in all, I would say this is a good investment for a large home 7200 sq ft or more with thick walls and several floors. I will give this product 4 1/2 stars.
