What is the ideal setup here?
I recently picked up a single Asus bq16 pro. Thing is a monster. My house is about 3500 sw feet. I set it up in my theater room upstairs. And it's covers everything in the house with "excellent* connection. Even my cars connect in the driveway and back yard tv as well. Set up all of them on a Asus i

just purchased
I used the Orbi 970 (2 pack) from 2024 up until last week. It's not a bad system overall, but I wanted more control in the webUI, so I decided to try the Asus BQ16 Pro (also a 2 pack).

For home use wifi 6 is still fine. wifi 7 is will future proof you for a bit. Tri band is a must in my opinion. Quad bands are out now though. Im a big fan of the Asus home mesh routers.

Best mesh option for my setup?
The Asus ZenWiFi BQ16 Pro outperforms the Orbi 973 with faster speeds and better range thanks to its dual 6GHz Wi-Fi 7 bands, offering more reliable and higher throughput through thick walls. While pricier, it’s the best option for your 3Gbps plan in a concrete house without Ethernet wiring. The Orb
