If you don't know what OpenWRT is, stop now and don't buy this unless you really don't care about features. This device is likely to never ever get a single update from Linksys and it's basically a dead product. Linksys is just dumping them and there will be no support, no mesh, and you can't use the USB port for anything at all.
1-Setup your Main router completely.
2-Plug your child node using the wan port to the main router lan port.
3-Log into your main router web admin.
4-Click on CA at the bottom right.
5-Click on Connectivity and CA Router setup.
6-Click on both Add Wired and Add Wireless nodes buttons. Wait for the Add wireless button to re-enable.
7-Click Done adding Child Nodes and then Apply.
8-Now the child node light should start flashing purple and turn into a mesh mode when it turns blue.
9-Disconnect Ethernet and wait for blue light again.
10-Move node to desired location.
link to previous deal with lots of discussion. Seems like OpenWRT, Mesh with multiple nodes are all possible.

It's tri band with 2x2 2.4ghz, 2x2 5ghz, and 4x4 5ghz. All three are ax.

I haven't checked openWRT, but I'm also not insanely interested in modding my router - I use it for its core functionality, go figure.

That said, for $20 it may be worth the gamble. That is a heck of a value.
