WiFi Home Upgrade - Need Advice on Routers vs Mesh - Want WiFi6
I have a 6,000 sq ft home, with three floors of 2,000 sq ft.
I previously installed about eight WiFi access points that were all routers as well. Of these 8 about 5-6 are also used for wired connections (they are placed alongside and have a hard wire connection to TV's).
I want to upgrade my WiFi Network to WiFi6 and make it as fast as possible, so it lasts for the next 5 years.
Do the Mesh devices also include hard wire connections, or will I need to buy more routers that have hard wire connections.
Please advise.

Yes, the MESH Extenders or Satellites have ethernet ports on the back of each.

No, that's the the equipment/setup that @FURRYe38 has. it can be a bit intimidating 🙂 Especially since thats just the netgear equipment.
