netgear nighthawk 8-stream ax8 wifi 6 router rax80 ax6000 vs ubiquiti Dream Machine Pro

I’m upgrading my home network and would like to solicit insight on the which of the to routers provides the best network for my needs. Here are the details:

5 bedroom 2 story house - 3,600sq. ft. 2 of the bedrooms are home offices 3 laptops 1 printer with WiFi/Ethernet 2 iPad pro’s 2 cell phones 5 Security cameras (Arlo, but am considering upgrading) Peloton (WiFi only) -

We generally entertain (pre-COVID) with guests in back yard and California room - would like some extended range outside.

Which product line would best accommodate this environment?

  • I wouldn't be looking at a single router solution. 
    I'd be looking at mesh setups where you can add satellites as needed to extend coverage
