Just chiming in with a recommendation, the Amplifi HD system with two mesh points is a fantastic wireless router setup. https://www.amplifi.com/amplifi-hd
I've had a Netgear Nighthawk R7000P and their bullshit "mesh" EX7000 range extender for a year, to share my connection with my parents' house 185ft away. I was able to get it to work with much micromanaging and it's been relatively stable for a year, but I wasn't ever able to update the firmware on the extender, the latest firmware for the router broke basic features, it couldn't support the "one wifi name" as it claims, still had a couple devices that would connect to one network and not the other, and isn't "mesh" in the least considering you cannot hop another extender off the extender. False advertising no tech support garbage that Amazon begrudgingly took back. I hope Netgear enjoys my FTC and BBB complaints.
Setting up this Amplifi system confirmed my suspicion that Netgear is a scam. I did almost nothing other than plug it in, firmware updated automatically, maintaining the same 185ft hop and then another hop 100ft off the back of their house. Whole network the same name, all ~20 devices moved over without a hitch and roam across our whole property. Like, I WANT to fiddle with it, but it's all perfect. And it appears they do somewhat regular firmware updates that don't break things. I'm thrilled. I think I could sell my wifi to every neighbor in a mile radius with enough extenders.
