Best WiFi Mesh system for Home Assistant in 2022

I’ve had decent performance with both Asus AiMesh (it’s much, much better since they upgraded it to version 2.0), and with UniFi - again it’s been excellently stable compared to the older UniFi stuff that’s installed at work.

The AiMesh system has 3x RT-AX56U routers, which gives excellent WiFi6 on both 2.4GHz and 5GHz.

The UniFi I’m using a mix of U6-Lite, UAP-AC-M and UAP-AC-Lite. The AC-M cover the front and back yards, the AC-Lite is in the garage (which has a heap of Shelly power monitors and other IoT devices), and the U6-Lites cover inside the home. The only caveat is the U6-Lites only do WiFi6 on 5GHz, 2.4GHz is WiFi5. Not an issue, as any 2.4GHz devices are MeRoss smart switches and the likes, so no big panic there.
