The Netgear Orbi is the best and most reliable MESH router out there. Just make sure you get the right model - you want AC3000 (the RBK50 model). They offer the AC2200 at a much better price, but you get what you pay for.
I was running CenturyLink at 1GB and was seeing WiFi speeds in the 600 - 750 MB range. Amazing speed and range. I am now on Comcast at 175 MB speed, and my Wifi runs at 175 MB - same speed as when hard wired.
Comcast says you will get great coverage, but they pale in comparison to Orbi. Just hook up the Orbi, and turn off wifi on the comcast router. I have installed these at our church and 2 doctor's offices - they are phenomenal.
I tried Google - range was not as good, and Google couldn't push the same speeds through (well, not when I was running 1GB). Also... Google is not a true MESH system. The backhaul radio is not on par with the Orbi.
If you install an Orbi, you'll never look back.
