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 believe any DECO unit can be added to a DECO system, but a non-DECO unit cannot be.

I currently have Fios internet > CR3100 Router > Deco AXE5300 Mesh system

Would this be an upgrade on that?

Further, if I bought 4 of these to use as a mesh system, would the main unit attach to the CR3100 router, or would it replace the CR3100 router that Verizon gave me?

Grabbed three. I have a vacation house that has some cameras pretty far apart and the single router (T-Mobile Home Internet Cylinder one) doesn't reach as well as it needs. Been a while since I did anything with OpenWRT / DD-WRT... Looking forward to getting back to that! Just hope the reliability is there!

What's the tl;dr about firmware? 3rd party firmware work on this thing? If so, this is a steal, if not this is a brick.
OpenWRT support isn't there yet, although there aren't any concerns about it being there in the near future. There is a DD-WRT version floating around on a forum somewhere that you need to build yourself.

I don't actually need these ATM. I will eventually replace my TM-AC-1900s I use for APs that cost more than double this, but I don't have any spare 5Ghz APs. The factory firmware ought to work in bridge mode.

Id stick with the Deco over this Linksys. All my Deco units I've put in place are stable, get consistent firmware updates for YEARS after purchase. My prior experience with Linksys and netgear wifi routers has been not nearly as positive.

You could add this linksys as a dumb access point but it wont be recognized as a Deco nor managed or optimized by the Mesh system. Deco system lets you buy any model deco to use with it, there are frequently older model decos available for cheap that would be much better than this linksys for you. Like that costco Deco deal underway.
Just my $0.02

there is no mesh support on this router YETgiven the absolutely massive rom size and memory available however, you can bet some third-party firmware like dd-wrt or openwrt will add it eventuallyit has as much rom and ram as a modern tablet, it's more than any other router I've seen, developers like that
Got 2 in this weekend, just setup one of mine (LN1301/MX4300) as a child node on my main MR7350 mesh setup just to test out whether it can be added as a child node to an existing Velop mesh config. It worked just fine with the instructions other users have posted.

Yes. Was happy to retire my crappy Spectrum router....too many slowdowns and dropped signal.

Yes. I have 3 working as mesh with factory Linksys firmware. I'm currently waiting for other firmware to develop and mature before I transition to one of them
how is the mesh setup working out? Do you know if its using one of the tri band to establish connectivity between nodes? My asus dual band mesh setup provides coverage but not the full speed by ISP

Thanks. I've seen people mentioning that they want to add to their DECO system in SD and got curious!
