Hello all,
Wondering what your opinions are on prioritizing wifi 6 or tri-band routers for a mesh network that will have 3 routers. For my budget range it looks as though it will definitely come down to one or the other.
Edited to give more usecase information
We are 4 roommates in a 3 story house, some will use ethernet if close enough to a satellite and some will use wifi. For those using wifi, I read somewhere that wifi 6 is still beneficial even if your adapter tops out at ac instead of ax because the routers themselves are better optimized for cross traffic with wifi 6. I also know that tri-band routers can use one of their 5g networks as a dedicated communication channel between the routers. So I am curious as to what you all think is worth prioritizing when budget is likely to allow for one or the other.
Thanks!
