upgrading from C7000 to mesh system
looking to move up to a mesh system form my home. I plugged in my needs on the filter options and got "Not currently available to purchase on NETGEAR.com" response.
My home is 3700 sq ft. I have less than 40 devices in my home, my current bandwidth is 400mg. Just me and my wife living here. We are big streaming people and we use Zoom often as well as I play VR games with Oculus headset. We put in a pool last year and really want to get coverage in back yard on pool deck which is 10-15 feet from back of home.
Suggestions appreciated, Thank you.

Review something from the following:

Select home size as well to help you narrow it down. I would recommend no more than two satellites for that size of home.

My home is one level and I have easy access to attic to run a wired system any thoughts?
Wire can be used and deployed in the attic. Though attic not recommended for actual equipment. Gets hot up there.

One level then the router and one satellite should be a good start.
