Hi All,
I'd really appreciate your thoughts on this WIFI Mesh system.
My wife and I are working full-time from home, it's important for us to get this right
My most burning questions:
Not sure of internet speeds yet (have not moved in), but I'm hoping for 200+ Mbps down / 30 Mbps UP
Current NBN Modem:
Technicolor TG789vac v2
Afaik the VDSL2 makes the NBN work? So I will need to keep this and run a cable to the new router?)
Home floor plan (600 sqm total living area, 300sqm upstairs, 300 sqm downstairs)
Ceiling material: Concrete
PDF Map of home: https://pdfhost.io/v/8zT0.l9~P_Home_Wif_PDF
Use case: (Location: Australia, Perth)
Working from home from two rooms.
The offices' rooms are directly on top of each other
Internet: NBN, FTTN via IINET
3 Adults living in the house, no kids.
Computers used: 5 desktop PCs connected (4 x LAN cables, 1x wifi)
Other devices: 3 smartphones, 2 tablets
I'd like to run 4x Hikvision POE cameras into a Hikvision NVR. The network would only be used to view WIFI streams on phone (minimal usage as viewing at night when other devices are off on 600px resolution).
Also planning to run simple home automation with Samsung smart things later.
A few mesh systems on my list:
Asus XT8
Satellites: 2
WiFi 6E – Cover up to 510 m²
WiFi Bands:Tri-band
NBN Compatibility: FTTN, FTTP
Price: $799 AUD
Downsides:
Need to add 1 more satellite as 510 SQM is not enough?
Deco XE75
Satellites: 3
WiFi 6E – Cover up to 670 m²
Price: $804 (AUD)
Downsides:
Wifi speeds might be less than 100 mbps
NETGEAR Orbi Quad-band AXE11000
Satellites: 3
WiFi 6E
Covers: 835 m²
Price: $2,799 (AUD)
Downsides:
Costs as much as the house xD

My most burning questions:
- Is it best to buy a mesh networking system + a router to go with it?
- Do I need to wait to decide on a system until I moved in (to see where to run the wired backhaul?)
