The only few reason I know so far is software availability, like adobe software, and Microsoft suite. Is there more of major reasons that I missed?

This is going to sound weird, but what WiFi system do you use?

I currently use an ASUS mesh system and it’s utter trash with Apple devices.

I’m using a EnGenius EWS377AP and don’t have any complaints.

I had Ubiquiti gear but had some quirks and still wanted something a bit advanced. I don’t know how well meshing works though.

Ooh. Sweet! Thank you!
They’re on the research list.

I almost bought into the Ubiquity ecosystem when I looked last time, but folks complained that the company seemed to be shifting focus a bit, and the first glimmers of them requiring user accounts started to appear. I wound up deferring until it unexpectedly became an emergency issue with a rushed replacement from a big box store.
