at this point, asus.

synology is much better, however, they don't currently have wifi 6,
which makes it not a contender at this time.

My Orbi mesh has been rock solid.

Known issues that others and I ran into Orbi (mine is RBK753S-100NAS (WiFi 6; AX4200)):
1. Autoupgrade in background whenever it wants. Annoying when using the network and Internet! No way to disable it.
2. Guest wifi loves to disconnect.

If this could be set to go at, eg: 4 in the morning, it would be better
than it going off at random, say while on a zoom call with a client...

No such issue here with my CBR750 & RBS750. Updates don't get installed
unless I log into the router admin interface and install them. It lets
me know when they are available when I log into the admin interface.

Don't use it on mine, so I can't comment.

I would have to check when updates have happened. I can say I have not
noticed the process, and we have a lot of things that complain when the Internet is down, not least my wife and 19yo.

The last upgrade happened right after midnight PDT when I was online! I
was wondering why I lost LAN and Internet connections, and saw my Orbi's
lights on.
