I replaced two separate wireless networks in my home because neither individually supported enough connections, but struggled to keep them running in the daisy chain I had configured. Both supposedly "worked" that way, but it was a constant battle to keep them working. Then, the last time my network went down, the Velop reset itself to factory settings, and I was going to have to start over. After hours of painful configuration, I went looking for a single mesh system that would support all my devices.
Set up was dead easy - literally ten minutes, and most of that was waiting for equipment to come back up. The set up instructions and software were straightforward and simple, and worked the first time. Unlike my previous systems, it found its own satellites and configured them without my having to do a thing except to plug them in where I wanted them to live. In just a few minutes, my entire 3500 sq ft house was completely covered.
Connecting devices was also straightforward. Even my legacy devices connected right up, at the right speed. No buffering on my TV streaming, no dead spots, and this thing is screaming fast even with all my crypto gear connected and hogging bandwidth. Even my finicky Helium hot spot came right up, connected, and went back to work.
Roku, Ring, a dozen Alexa devices, five laptops, three crypto servers, 3 TVs, everything connected up. The worst thing that happened was that my Ring doorbell battery was very low and had to be charged back up before I could connect it. Several older smart devices running lights came right up and work too.
I do think this is a pricey option, and most people really don't need this much horsepower in their homes, but my smart home and crypto operation need the speed and bandwidth, it won't need to be replaced any time soon with available 6E, and it was worth every dime. Love it, highly recommend.

Performance to the max, but expected from a $1400 mesh system. Plus, I have some ideas!
I have no regrets and hopefully this system preforms for many years, and, "future proof" may be an over-used term but it's basically another word for a hope and a prayer. My system I think is pretty normal; the one thing that may stand out is I ran Cat-8 for the one wired backhaul, overkill yes, but maybe in place for the next generation router/mesh network system. The other satellite I had to use the wireless backhaul as it was out in a sunroom beyond any wall access or cable pulling (it did have 110v in-wall however that I took advantage of, in pic you'll see no wires and that looks really nice).This brings me to my only negative... these satellites are NOT "self healing" meaning their connection back to the main router unit doesn't always reconnect automatically. If you trip the breaker that (in my case, the Sunroom), you're Ship out of luck, it won't self heal or remake the connection. You will manually have to repair the connection by re-paring both the router and the satellite.... Now, if you lose power all at once (like a local power outage), when power is restored, all the units {usually} will come back on in the blinking white mode and make communication and re-establish the connection. Hopefully a firmware update can fix the issue of losing 1 (or both) satellites and get them to self heal and reconnect on their own.My 2 cents for a future update (other than the self healing connections mentioned above)... is to have the LED connection lights optionally on (all the time) by a user settings. Being the constant Blue indicator LED; meaning a connection between nodes is successful and being upheld... this would be nice to see full time. Then, you could tell when you've lost a satellite and it's not communicating with the router. You can see this ONLY if you have the app up or the Internet access portal actively displaying, but, in real life, how often will you or do you have this actively displayed?This would be minimal on the power consumption and as mentioned could be triggered on or off (full time) as per your user setting.... plus that blue light looks really cool when on for the 2 minutes initially it's on. For the router, if it loses a incoming modem signal, it constantly displays a magneta color. THIS is very HANDY and USEFUL!. So, 5 Stars with some wiggle room for improvement :)Anyways, the good outweighs the bad by a landslide. You won't be disappointed in the RBKE960's performance or aesthetics/looks.--------------my system as pictured in order------------Satellite in Sunroom w wireless backhaul, power fed in-wall and hidden :-)Satellite in isolated 2 car garage w 100' Cat-8 wired backhaul.Main Router unit in Studio, I use the window curtain as a cable "masking" lol.

The wall mount kit only comes with dry wall plugs, so if mounting on a concrete/ masonry wall, use suitable wall plugs.
Cons is that it costs fair money for just a wall bracket.
