Finally got Fiber to the house, upgrading my speeds from 0.03Gbps to 3Gbps. So finally my WiFi 7 router can see some real action.
Right now I have a couple of older Asus routers (running stock firmware) set up (via ethernet backhaul) as AIMesh nodes. These nodes don't have WiFi6/WiFi7, but generally have done the job with my lower speeds. But still a bit quirky and the WiFi5 coverage is still spotty in places.
After poking around, a good solution appears to be to catch a sale on a ZenWiFi BT8 2-pack and set them up as AIMesh nodes (again, ethernet backhaul) with the BE92U as the master still, and retire the old Asus routers.
I'd say 3/4 of my WiFi devices are 2.4G only (IoT stuff or a few older devices), at the moment, in case that matters.
Any obvious flaws with that plan?
