If you are using a wifi backhaul, get the M90.
If you are using a wired Ethernet backhaul, get the X60.

Setup: Two M9 Plus with wired backhaul, and 1 standalone wireless
WLAN Router -> M9 Plus (1) -> switch -> M9 Plus (2)
One standalone M9 Plus (3)
AC 2x2 client - Test by copying a large file from NAS to laptop (NAS is connected to switch)
M9 Plus (1) 55MB/s
M9 Plus (2) 38MB/s
M9 Plus (3) 23MB/s
Some of my observations:
1. No indication if wired backhaul is working (The website says "some" devices support the signal source indicator, but not the m9 plus). Based on the big drop in speed in router 2, it is likely not working.
2. Cannot change channel to a less crowded channel
3. Parental controls features are nice, easy to use and free
- Easily block certain categories of sites at the individual profile level (assign devices to profile)
- Screen time limit at profile level
- One click to pause internet for an individual
4. Despite having 3 routers instead of 1, the signal at my garage is now not usable. Used to work with 1 router with the 2.4 ghz signal. Coverage is good throughout the house though.

This can be a deal breaker but time will tell. I found that the channel 11 is unused in my neighbourhood. Right now I have AC68U running on that channel with no issue. Hopefully TP Link integrated something smart to analyze the wifi channels.

Should I be concerned and go for just a powerful router/two routers?
Is this for real? I better end up keeping my AC68U with merlin then.

No major gaming just console, tons of streaming throughout the day at least 3-6 users all day.

Also, ars technica expert claimed the m9 is a hub and spoke model for mesh and not unit to unit. But i cant confirm that in my setup as my main unit is in center of the location so every satellite connects to the main unit.
Oooh, wow I didn't know! That's crazy, v2 is less capable than v1???
