I'm looking for a mesh network system with three routers or one main router and two extenders included. Anyone have any good recommendations? I've read up and everything seems to have its own drawbacks. One thing is too pricy, another has no out of band management control, etc.

Google wifi is really good and easy to setup and has remote management auto update, only thing is that if you want to do more advanced things with it you will find it a bit limiting although you can root it and install linux on it.

Can agree as well. I have never heard anything bad with it, only praise.

 

Also I didn't know you can root and throw Linux on it.
