Need some help choosing a mesh system (alien.top)

So I have a room about 20-30 feet away from the router. And I live with a pretty big family who all have they own phones, computers and systems they use. So I was wondering if a mesh would be best because I’m also considering just paying for some Ethernet wiring to my room. But I don’t wanna just get a Ethernet wiring if I’m still gonna see some latency because of how many ppl are on it at times. Would one wired mesh node do? And which should I try?

This is mainly for my pc and ps5.

Run the ethernet cable, add a switch to connect your two machines over 2 more wires and you will never experience internet problems, except perhaps with your phone.
