Hey, welcome to the forum!

My general recommendation for mesh wifi has been Ubiquiti APs for a while now, but it greatly depends on the user and the size of the space you're working with. 

How big is the house and what's your budget for this?

Personally I have had good experiences with AVM's (Fritz) equipment. Quite a variety of devices, but depending on the size of the home/office it needs to supply for WiFi, you could get away with 2 to 3 WiFi routers.

TP-Link's Deco stuff is alright too.

Ubiquiti has quite a wide variety of devices too, which can work nicely as well.

 

Haven't had as good experiences with Netgear Orbi or Asus Lyra. Asus' mesh on their routers supposedly is pretty good, but I have not experiences with that.

I find great success in using the Ampli-Fi system, too big of a house for any real router and this one i got has mesh capabilites and two huge ass transmitters for wall mounting.

I think you'll need much more than that to setup a mesh.

70 Dollars is not gonna get you any good mesh system. For a decent mesh system, you're probably looking at $200-$300 USD.

At that price, I recommend picking up a consumer router like an Asus AC66U or Tp-link Archer A9 and putting them in bridge mode. That would be your best bet.

I agree and that is one of the many reasons I don't see streaming video games viable for many people because many don't have ethernet routed throughout their home

I guess I can streach a bit, what would be a good option

you can only pick one, even if you spend hundreds on wifi it'll still have high latency because of how it works, on the other hand a cable is 10x cheaper has low latency and no micro cuts or packet loss

MiMo is a thing... 3x3 is standard on most consumer devices and if he's on 5GHz, his rated ISP speed (or something else in the chain) will be his limit on streaming.

For consistency, that depends entirely on the environment your device is setup in. If there's a lot of interference, then he'll have issues with stability just because there are other devices talking on the same channels. Picking better channels can help.
