Mesh with AXE11000 or AXE10000?

Looking at buying one of these, but want to use wireless mesh for area's I don't have good coverage, or an ethernet cable.

 

I'd rather use a traditional Router vs a whole home mesh wifi system.

 

I don't see anywhere that the AXE is fully compatable with any of the Mesh extenders in true mesh.

  • None of the standalone routers are "true mesh".

    You can add extenders to them but they aren't a mesh setup like Orbi or the MK NIghthawk series. 

    And right now the AXE11000 is so new there isn't much of anything to connect to the 6E (galaxy s21, intel AX210 but its sketchy and not fully working)

    What's your goals? 

    How big is the home? 

    How many access points do you need/want?

     

    Reason I ask is mesh extenders work fine but if you think you'll need more than 1, I'd push you for an actual mesh system like orbi/MK.
