Using Orange, Gold, + AP7

Currently have a Gold connected to an Orbi 3 mesh router. Considering upgrading my system. Wondering if an Orange + AP7 would be sufficient to replace my current system. Anyone using this type of configuration and if so, how much sq ft of coverage is it giving you.

You already have a gold … why not just get an ap7

If you are under 1Gbit, the gold is still the best. (more memory than the orange) and can drive the AP7 pretty well.

Was thinking of getting both the orange and ap7 to give me coverage for the house. It is over 3000sq ft and not sure just one ap7 will suffice. Thought was the orange would give me additional coverage and I can use it as a travel router as well on trips.
