Asus mesh issue due to mixing routers maybe?

[GabrielPhoto]

hello!
I have a mesh with a main asus axe16000 connected to an axe11000 via 2.5Gb (wired) and there is also an older ax11000 connected wirelessly to complete this 3 router mesh.

Performance is not as good as I want and after some research it seems it's because of how different these routers are.

I got a recommendation to replace the axe11000 and ax11000 with two GT-AX6000 because those are on the same firmware 3.0.0.6 as the axe16000 .

But after reading some articles maybe I’m better off buying two more axe16000 instead?
Thanks for any advice.

Out of curiosity, what kind of performance are you getting?

And how are you measuring "performance" ?

Does the network 'perform' better without the AX11000 and can you live with that? How big an area are you serving now with three APs?
