Modem / Router / Mesh Suggestions

I have the "Preferred Internet" package through COX which is up to 150mbps download and 10mbps upload. I currently have a 4y/o all in one modem/router that I am going to replace. I am looking to purchase a modem separate and then a mesh system for my house. My house is 3000 living but I am also trying to make sure I can reach my back porch area where I have a tv. The backyard area is fairly close to my living area and is separated by some glass doors. The system I have now registers 75-105mbps when I do a speed test but is constantly dropping out on devices furthest from the modem/router.
I've done extensive online research and am looking to get the Linksys CM3024 Modem and pair it with the Linksys Velop Plug-In Mesh system. Total buy in will run me about $350 (imagine that) but I think it will cover my needs of having a strong signal that will not drop out on devices.
I was wondering if anyone currently has a mesh system that is lights out and in same price range or maybe knows something about the system I am looking to buy? I'm not set on Linksys but since I was leaning towards the Linksys Mesh system, I figured I'd pair it with the same brand modem since it was ranked fairly high in reviews.

I'm not a pro on this stuff but I went with the Google Mesh system with 3 pucks after some research and it has been absolutely flawless since I got it. No complaints at all and would buy again.

i would go ubiquity then orbi. Orbi is better than google wifi because of the dedicated backhaul.

I have the 3 pack Google Mesh WIFi. Most of the time it works well, but the one frustrating thing is one of the two WiFi points will randomly drop out of the network. The only way I have found to get it back in the “mesh” is to unplug it and let it sit for 30 seconds or so. Plug it back in and it meshes with the network again. Otherwise I get excellent speeds across all of my devices, having as many as 12-14 devices going when the kids and grandkids are here.
