"If you’re non-technical the best option is Eero. They are easy to use, a good price/value ratio, and aesthetically pleasing."
·
"Eero for simple, plug and play with probably one of the best mesh networks in market today."

Ubiquiti

4.5
(26)
"Great top speeds. faster than Orbi. I have about 2.4Gb into my house on Fios, and I’m getting about 1.4Gb wirelessly to our iPhones. No more drops. Not one."
·
"Bought a Ubiquiti system this week and will never look back. It’s absolutely awesome. Worlds better than anything else I’ve tried."
·
"I have two houses with Unifi mesh setups and virtually never have an issue."
·
"I’ve been using Ubiquiti since 2018, started with a USG and USW-8-60. This year I upgraded to a UDM Pro, Switch Pro 24 and a couple APs."
·
"I made the jump with the UDM-Pro and three nano HD APs. This covered the above mentioned home just fine."
·
"Just tossed my netgear stuff for Ubiquity and couldn’t be happier."
·
"I went from DD-WRT for years to ASUS AiMesh and have been on Unifi equipment for a good four years now."
·
"Unifi gear is not cheap. But I highly recommend it. I installed a wifi 7 pro AP the other day and it's fantastic."
·
"I got myself a Ubiquity dream machine and then in the far reaches wired acc"

UniFi

4.1
(15)
"Ubiquiti/Unifi is a big step up in investment, but since I did the upgrade the wife and kids have hardly complained."
·
"UniFi is the answer love it."
·
"Yeah my Unifi and HomeBridge setup is awesome I have 4 cameras and should be installing my Unifi doorbell camera soon."
·
"I just replaced my ASUS stuff with UniFi, I love it. Add in the super easy camera addition, you can’t beat it. UniFi all day!"
·
"If you are not familiar with network, I would recommend UniFi Access Points as it has a good web UI."
·
"I’ve been pretty happy with my unifi decision after leaving the goat rodeo that is orbi."
·
"You can save $100 by getting the U6+ instead of the U6-Mesh. All of the APs can be meshed."
·
"You’ll definitely have to go over budget if you want UniFi to cover that space, but I think it is worth it."
·
"U6 plus is great for $99 if you can get Ethernet to it."
·
"Unifi. There are a lot of tutorials how to isolate IoT with homekit from your main network but without losing homekit compatibility."
·

Netgear

"I use the Orbi and it’s great"
·
"Orbi def best in market, next best is the google mesh, then Mby Eero mesh system"

"Orbi already kinda has the best mesh system out of all companies in my opinion"

"The Netgear Orbi would be a good option for you, as it should fit within your budget and provides excellent performance."
·
"I’ve used the Orbi for the last 1.5 years and it seems to be working great."
·
"I use Orbi. But only recommended models with a dedicated backhaul."
·
"Orbi"
·
"I've used Orbi and eero meshes and the only times I've ever seen latency higher than 5-10ms within the network, a reboot fixed it."
·
"I’ve tried Orbi and Linksys mesh systems and wouldn’t buy them again. Orbi was the absolute worst. Firmware updates would regularly break HomeKit."

Asus

"I have a 2 ZenWiFi AX’s on each floor of my house. WiFi everywhere, including a bench at the back fence of the property kicks butt."
·
"I ultimately went with the Asus BQ16 Pro. For me, this setup provided the best overall setup and performance and I'm very happy with it."
·
"I kinda like the Asus Mesh setups as they are quite self learning and seeing where the best bandwidth can be obtained."

"I have an older Asus ZenWi-Fi AX three unit system, it's been good."
·
"I've been using AiMesh since the beginning, and it was rocky at first, but now I'm currently quite happy with it."

"Ubiquiti AmpliFy may not be a latest and coolest tech, but dead simple and resolved all my connection issues with HomeKit."

3.0
(3)
"I get by right now with some Linksys Velop. They are easy to set up and very stable if done right."
·
"I have used Linksys Velop, Netgear Orbi, and currently on a Unifi system. While I will always recommend Unifi I know some people just want a simple plug and play system."
·
