Which Orbi Mesh Router is right for me?
Mainly looking at the RBK65x vs 75x vs 85x.
I have appx 2000 sqft single story house, whole HomeKit setup (2 Apple TVs, 5 HomePods, Lutron Hub with 20 switches connected, Hue with 5 connected, 2 Eufy HomeBase 2s with 3 cameras total, Aqara hub with 5 devices connected.
My plan is 1Gbps.
I’m thinking I need 2, probably not 3 nodes. I’m switching from the Linksys Velop AX4200 it registers 900 download from my modem (Arris SurfBoard SB6190) but only transmits ~200 when right in front of it, and 20 when 10ft in front of my furthest node.
All advice welcome!

Re: Which Orbi Mesh Router is right for me?
At the most you need 1 extra satellite. (unless your home is made of brick interior walls).
You can have to many satellites and cause roaming issues.
You might even be find with a single router solution if you can centrally locate it.
