Mark, Since you mentioned the Mesh Linksys router, i am curious if Linksys has a modem/wireless router combo that supports Wi-Fi 6E. I am trying to slowly make my home a smart home based on the Apple Home Kit. This requires a very fast router for faster responses from the smart home accessories. If you have any info, please share.
