I highly recommend them. The app makes managing the system easy as can be. Reliable coverage even in tricky places. Ethernet connection is an option on all nodes (which is NOT the case on lots of mesh systems) and also delivers good signal without it. If you're in the market for a mesh system and not determined to get a WiFi 6 system above all other priorities, I'd recommend this.

..but really i didn't know mesh was supposed to be additive speeds..is that assuming your wifi card is doing banding with overlapping coverage? currently running a tp-link archer a20 (ac4000) [bhphotovideo.com]..but maybe good for future-proofing?
For my gigabit connection, max I got was 350mbps from main router. So I returned it (bought the same deal few weeks back from same seller). But everything came looking new with Ethernet cables and stuffs

Naming conventions are all over the place. Each unit is capable of providing 3 streams:
5ghz 866.7mbps
5ghz 866.7mbps
2.4ghz 400mbps
That's the maximum theoretical throughput of 802.11ac or wifi 5 in the 5ghz channels. As for top speeds - that's it across all wifi 5 devices per channel. Some might have more channels - compatibility with clients and network devices will determine how fast your bandwidth is.
That plus quality of the components inside. This one reviews well but speeds drop off pretty fast the further you get away from the router.
If you want faster speeds you check reviews on the best wifi 5 devices and also expect to pay more or look at wifi 6 which is generally much better for speeds. Wifi 6e is even better but last I checked - really expensive since it's cutting edge.
All that being said for $100 for 3 nodes as long as you dont care about getting speeds over 500Mbps over wifi this is a nice pickup. The max I ever seen on this is around 550ish Mbps so its able to hit just over 500Mbps to a single device with proper client and settings.
As long as all 3 devices are the router model this is a good pickup for those with internet under 500Mbps who want coverage. There were some packages that had one router and two dual bands nodes, again trash product.

I do wish they had more Ethernet ports so I didn't need to connect the satellite units to switches to power the entertainment center in the living room.

I seen these guys hit around 550Mbps but that is their literal max and not consistent.
While I do recommend wifi 6 a lot it has a lot of benefits including passive to older devices this is actually a good price, if you never plan on getting speeds over 500Mbps from your ISP it will last you awhile hopefully, since it is a refurbished product.

Agreed, for the price it's hard to go wrong.
