the best solution not use the isp provided wifi access point at all and
instead use a single mesh system for the entire house

I second that. I've done it (with a Linksys Velop 3-node
system) and the coverage is rock-solid throught all three
floors of my house. Speed is excellent. There are only a
few spots where I do not have a 5GHz signal and
performance us still very good.

Because of work that I do, I elected to pay extra for
300Mb/s service. Various speed tests (additional to the
one built in the Velop) show that I usually measure more
than 400Mb/s down. Those checks were made using a wired
Enet connection, but I see results close to that speed on
WiFi. I have also confirmed these results by directly
connecting a laptop to the modem.

I would suggest to the OP that he purchase a decent modem
that's on the Spectrum list of approved models. The
monthly rental for Spectrum's will cover the cost of a
much better one in less than a year. Check out mid-priced
Motorola models. I'm very happy with mine.
