onemesh helps boosting coverage, but speed is much worse than dedicated mesh. you can't mix and match it with deco mesh.
This thing is huge, about the size of a mini chromebook. super thick. Antennas are fixed and can't be adjusted.
My house is 2k sqft, single floor, router is in the center of the house, coverage is sufficient.

Thanks!
Deal starts Saturday.
Then while looking up another issue on the TP-Link web site, I saw there was a recent firmware update so I put it back in place and tried it again. Much better. Not sure I see a huge difference in performance between the two routers, but it's at least working the way I expect it to.
Costco had this router for $200 and it was not "flying of the shelf"
The comments at the time were outdated kernel and security, so I bought the Asus AX88U.
Not sure if it improved from 2 years ago.
For the non believers and thumbs down

Eye-opener guidance at the time:
"The bottom line, however, is that you should research OEMs before purchasing your next router, and see what their track record is like with respect to security updates and firmware upgrades. Don't let attractive pricing take your eye of the ball, as this is a piece of hardware that you will likely be keeping around and connecting your devices and home to the internet with for years."

Also, extenders aren't good because they halve your wireless throughput.

How is the 88U? I'm debating between this and the 88U. Are you using Merlin firmware? How does the range compare between the two routers?
I think it will serve good, plus Costco excellent return policy, you can always take it back if it doesn't meet your expectations.
