I currently have a mesh (wired) google wifi setup but want to switch so something… not google. Preferably wifi 6 but I don’t need anything insane.
Cheap is good but I also want to be able to basically ignore it for the next 10 years.

Not OP but usually mash means that there is one SSID shared across multiple routers and access points
You can easily do that manually. The “mesh” part is either awareness of other routers for using 802.11k or awareness with wireless backhaul.
If you don’t need 802.11k or easy wireless backhaul, you don’t need mesh routers.
Yeah, this is how I understand it too. From the end user’s point of view, there’s just one wifi network throughout the building or property. It doesn’t matter if there’s a cable running between the access points, that’s all invisible to the user.
