Mesh router for remote play

I used to do a lot of remote play from my PS5 to my Steam Deck with my Netgear Nighthawk router. But since I moved to a bigger home and switched to an eero mesh network, I haven’t been able to get remote play working well again, either with PS5 Chiaki or Steam Link.
Right now, my workaround is to plug a secondary router into one of the eero nodes on the third floor and connect all my gaming devices to that router, basically bypassing the eero network. It works okay as long as I use my Deck on the third floor, but I’d really prefer not to need that secondary router.
So my question is: does anyone have recommendations for a mesh system that works well with remote play, or has anyone successfully set up mesh Wi-Fi for PS5 Chiaki or Steam Link?
One strange thing about eero is that it doesn’t let you separate the 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz Wi-Fi bands.
