TaoTronics also compensates “buyers” for their reviews on Amazon, so all the 5 star ratings you see are most likely fake. Same with RavPower, who is also under the Sun Valley Group.
I have a Netgear Orbi RBK5000 and it’s great. It has a dedicated 5GHZ backhaul channel if you don’t have Ethernet in the satellite location. Main one in my basement office and the satellite in the bonus room. It’s on clearance at Staples right now for $400 and there is a coupon code that gives you an extra 25% off clearance items with code 93205.

I had two Asus RT-AC68U’s before running AiMesh and it didn’t work as good I found. I found my phone would get stuck on a node and wouldn’t hand off properly to the closer one.
