Just wanted to drop another data point that Linksys is also trash now. So for consumer-targeted gear it seems the options are:

1. Eero - great performance, no web config (only mobile app), cloud dependent, half the features paywalled for monthly subscription (eyeroll)

2. Linksys - confirmed piles of crap, a 6E mesh kit I tried last year performed worse than my 2018 Eeros so why bother. Config is even more limiting than Eero, the web UI is a slow disaster that times out constantly, and the app is terrible and the features are badly designed.

3. Netgear - sucks as parent comment explains

4. TP-Link - reputation is that it's bad but I haven't tried

5. Asus - never tried

6. Google - no doubt they'll kill and brick these at some point

Any others I'm forgetting?
