Compact WiFi 6 B3000 vs MT3000 vs AXT1800 vs Ax3000T

Hardware Questions and Recommendations

I'm investigating for a family member, which device you would choose to replace a pair of Huawei AX3 Pro Global in a house (main router and wired AP) about 10 devices. With a small/compact (to put inside a small cabinet/panel) the AX3 is tight already with the antennas collapsed.

Options I saw so far:

  • GL.iNet GL-B3000 (Marble) (have one, been doing tests)
  • GL.iNet GL-MT3000 (Beryl AX) (2.5G looks appealing, but probably wont going to have >1gbit until a few years)
  • GL.iNet AXT1800 (Slate AX) (apparently higher signal than the Beryl?)
  • Xiaomi Router Ax3000T (apparently similar to the AX3 Pro physically, pain that is taller with the antennas collapsed so unable to use it in constrained space place, also looks like not performant as the AX3 Pro, now I wonder about the others.

I wonder what others are for this use case of being small, capable of being good main router and AP for a house (good signal) also might use it for vpn or adblock too... the AX3 Pro pair worked extremely well but unable to use it for other than internet/wifi.

There's also AP3000 as well, plenty of options

Thanks, do you have any other comments on positive/negative aspects on some models? range/speed/reliability

@Dante had a thread a couple of weeks ago which maybe useful:

What size are we dealing with as the GL B3000 may be exactly what you need since it's been merged
