I ditched Netgear due to poor performance and went with Ubiquiti. I'm fortunate that I could afford to buy a console for management but if you're willing to self-host then there is no cost there. You could then get several APs (they have some as low as $99) and you're all set.
i just moved into a place where wired networking is not an option, and did this to get Wi-Fi into my bedroom. It works great - I'm hosting my controller on a Raspberry Pi and have two APs, with one wired to the router and one meshing. it works great :)
FYI all ubiquity aps I ever bought broke within 5 years. Ymmv
I've only ever lost one, I have six installed at home in 12 installed at work.
I'm not saying they're the height of reliability but your mileage very well may vary.
