NIGHTHAWK OR ORBI MESH

If you have a smart home with a lot of wifi connected devices (smart speakers, lights, TVs, gaming consoles and pc), would you get a Nighthawk router (ax8 or 12) or an Orbi mesh system? Thanks

The house is approximately 280sqm so range is not really an issue, more so connected devices

If you don’t have a range issue/dead spots then a router is probably better than a mesh platform as it allows for much high throughput.
