Yes, Linksys LN1301 is a terrific router with 2 GB RAM and 1 GB of flash. Insane! I thought my Netgear R7800 with 512 MB RAM is pretty good until the specs on LN301 blows the R7800 out of the water and is a tri-band router as well!

With wireless mesh (instructions below), it's one heck of a deal and blows DECO AX5000 deal out of the water, imho.

EDIT: UPDATED instructions for enabling MESH (thanks to @rbtcordell for the original source):

1-Setup your Main router completely.

2-Plug your child node using the wan port to the main router lan port, wait for a solid purple light on the child node before proceeding

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.

I got this router last week. In my home where previously I had wifi issues with my old router (RaX20) I don't have issues with this guy. One thing to note is that they're only 4 Ethernet ports on the back (including the modem source) that means you can only connect 3 devices physically.

I'm using the 2 previously bought as AP (backhauled over MOCA) to replace my old T-Model (Asus) AC1900. The WiFi signals are strong and the speed is amazing. Couldn't be happier.

there is no mesh support on this router YET

given the absolutely massive rom size and memory available however, you can bet some third-party firmware like dd-wrt or openwrt will add it eventually

it has as much rom and ram as a modern tablet, it's more than any other router I've seen, developers like that
There is mesh support. See https://slickdeals.net/f/17666403-linksys-ln1301-tri-band-wifi-router-25-free-shipping?p=172285011#post172285011

Must resist. My current Asus setup with an AX3000 and 2 AX55 for mesh nodes works fine. I don't really need this but at $15 or $20 a piece it seems like such a good deal it's hard to pass up. Honestly, the biggest reason I probably haven't is I'm not really thrilled about the idea of going back to DD-WRT again. Have they gotten past their 30/30/30 obsession and wanting you to reset the router any time you upgrade or basically have any problem?

OpenWRT works on this router. You can dual boot the factory firmware with OpenWRT.

It DOES support MESH. Instructions:

Setup your Main router completely.

Plug your child router using the wan port to the main router lan port.

Log into your main router web admin. Click on CA at the bottom right.

Click on Connectivity and CA Router setup. Click on both Add Wired and Add Wireless nodes buttons. Wait for the Add wireless button to re-enable then click Done adding Child Nodes. And then Apply.

Now the child node light should start flashing purple and turn into a mesh node when it turns blue.
