I have a 5g main network almost everything is on and a 2.4 guest network for guests but also has my smart lighting bridge.
Currently about 34 devices and I’m looking to upgrade the router to future
Proof my Wi-Fi.
Seems everting I read had downsides
Though EERO pro 6 (3 pack) would do it but at a high cost. But I seems lots of users have issues where the devices don’t connect to closest node
Effecting speed.
Also do I need to hard wire these for best backhaul? Or is the 3rd band sufficient ?
Thanks for any insite into routers and set up philosophy. I’m not to up on it.

Not sure why you would ‘upgrade’. You are getting speeds through your current Google Mesh equal to or more than your ISP package. Your limitation right now is your package, not the google mesh.
I’m using google mesh with 5 nodes as well, covering roughly the the same square footage. My package is 1.5 GB down and 1 GB up and I’m getting those speeds on the google mesh wifi.
