Mixing brands for home network (lemmy.world)

I do not see any brands that offer all I need. I'll be setting up TMHI (T-Mobile), and a mesh network through the house, because the TMHI device will not be centrally located in order to get the best position for signal. I also have two out-buildings that need limited internet - looking at point-to-point for those, and access points inside. I can find everything I need, but not under one brand. Also - I need more than two hard-wired connections inside the home. but most of the mesh 'masters' I see only have two - one in, one out... SO - I'm open to suggestions, please! thanks in advance for any and all assistance!

Why not ditch the mesh and go with a properly switched network with Ethernet as the backhaul? Your latency is likely already hosed using cellular for WAN, why add even more as traffic boings around a bunch of mesh nodes?
