I currently have a mesh (wired) google wifi setup but want to switch so something… not google. Preferably wifi 6 but I don’t need anything insane.

Cheap is good but I also want to be able to basically ignore it for the next 10 years.

    Yeah mesh to me means you talk to one AP wirelessly and that AP talks to another AP also wirelessly to eventually get to a wired connection to the internet. Of course that can also be wireless (SpaceLink, Verizon, etc) but out to the internet. I much prefer each AP has its own ethernet backhaul because both latency and throughput are significantly better. Of course it’s not as convenient since you have to have wired connections at each AP location.
