I currently have a Netgear Orbi mesh system with two satellites that I'd like to upgrade. It's the first-gen Orbi, with only 3 ethernet ports and one useless USB port. I've eliminated as many 2.4Ghz devices from my network as possible, and moved as many devices as I can to ethernet. My goals are to move to modern wifi to support things like game future streaming as much as possible.

The Asus RT-AX88U Pro is currently like $230 on amazon, so I was thinking of going with that.

I'd rather go straight to 6E, of course, but it seems like the "best" routers are in the $400 range.

What would you do?

This is the first gen Orbi so I haven’t seen a firmware update in a while.
