Recent experience Orbi 970 with At&t gateway

MESH is more designed to be a extender system and has the ability for backhaul support while still giving front haul, user connectable wifi signals and also provide MLO support for your devices that support MLO/WiFi7 and integrates with in itself or user visibility to see what is connected to each AP and check on status.
30 feet or more is recommended in between RBR 📡 and RBS 🛰️ to begin with depending upon building materials when wired or wirelessly connected.

- Thank you for your reply. Unless I’m mistaken, It sounds like I’d be spending substantially more but possibly not gaining enough benefit to justify the expenditure - especially given my primary workspace is next to the router/gateway. True?
I'd probably go with a current Orbi AX or AXE system.
